The SPEAKER: I would like to welcome to parliament today students from St Michael's College—second day in a row—who are guests of the member for Colton. I hope you enjoy your time in here today and I hope everyone is as well behaved as I am sure you are when you are in your classrooms. We also had some St Michael's students in yesterday. I am an old scholar and so is the Minister for Trade. We almost had an unfortunate situation yesterday when the Minister for Trade was getting a bit unruly. The students would have gone back to school and said, 'We went to parliament. We saw one old scholar kick another old scholar out.' Luckily, we did not get to that, and I am sure the member for Cheltenham is going to be on his best behaviour, knowing that students from the school that he went to and that I went to are in the building. Now we have what is called question time and we traditionally begin with the Leader of the Opposition. I call the leader.
