the RFS and the honourable member of the SES are being stoked by the fifth columnists under the direction of Mr Smyth.

We saw it this morning. Did you see the puppeteer out there this morning—the orchestrator? Did you see the orchestra conductor out there with his arms waving in the air saying, “What do we want? Justice. When do we want it?” Says Mr Smyth. Mate, you would do well in front of a Labor party industrial rally. When you get kicked out of parliament, come and see me and I will see if I can get you a volunteer job. I will get you a volunteer job because of the old orchestration. You think, “Oh, where’s my biro?” I know where your biro was.

Mr Speaker, this man has temerity. He is the one guy that has lost a federal election. This guy led those opposite in the leadership team that lost the 2001 election. This guy led them so that they were such a disorganised rabble that they were a laughing stock out there. Then everybody in the Liberal Party said, “Whoops, we do not have enough confidence in you any more. Enough is enough. We’d better put him on the backbench where he can do no harm.” What was the problem with that, Mr Speaker? The problem with that is that he has got too much time on his hands. What does he do? He thinks, “I can just sit here and foment mischief.”

Mr Stefaniak would do well to check out some of his activities, to investigate him fully. If I was you, I would get your bullet-proof vest and turn it around the other way. He is after your job. He is after your job, and if he has to get your job on the way he will do it. Don’t you think he is your mate, because he is not? If anybody should have a no-confidence motion in them passed in this place, it is that person on the backbench, Mr Smyth.

Mr Stefaniak: Say something nice about someone.

MR HARGREAVES: I will say something nice about you. You are really a nice bloke, Bill. Now you have heard it. You have heard it; you have asked for it. I have given it to you. But you are sitting in front of the sneakiest person this place has ever seen.

Motion (by Mr Gentleman) proposed:

That the question be now put.

The Assembly voted—

Question so resolved in the affirmative.
