HON NORMAN MOORE (Mining and Pastoral — Leader of the House) [3.36 pm]: Mr President —

The PRESIDENT: The Leader of the Opposition.

Hon NORMAN MOORE: Not quite, Mr President; that was last year.

The PRESIDENT: I am sorry; the Leader of the House.

Hon NORMAN MOORE: It is going to take us all a little while to get used to our respective roles.

Hon Simon O’Brien: The election wasn’t due until February!

Hon Ken Travers: I am sure you’ll be here long enough to become the Leader of the Opposition again!

The PRESIDENT: Order, members! Members may appreciate that I have referred to the Leader of the House as the Leader of the House and the Leader of the Opposition in those capacities on a number of occasions over the years, but we now have some very serious business to deal with. The Leader of the House.
