Mr R.F. JOHNSON: [...] I am sorry; for everybody’s benefit, I indicate that somebody just fell over in the back of the chamber, but he is all right.
Ms A.J.G. MacTiernan: He fell asleep listening to you.
Mr R.F. JOHNSON: I thought it was the member for Armadale who was snoring. I am sorry. It was somebody else, was it? Goodness me.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER: Thank you, members.
Mr R.F. JOHNSON: We must not have any humour in this place. We get into trouble if we do that.
