the short answer

Mr P.B. WATSON: […] This week is National Volunteer Week and I now refer to some volunteer groups in Albany. I am bound to miss some as there are so many. I was at the Albany Surf Life Saving Club awards on Saturday night as I am a patron down there. Many people are involved in the Albany surf club, which won the state award last year for the best club. Yes, Bunbury won it the year before, Mr Acting Speaker (Mr A.J. Dean) – do not look at me like that! We will probably win it again this year. It is a family orientated club. I cannot think of the young girl’s name, but she is a short person –

Mr D.A. Templeman: That’s rounded it down!

Mr B.K. Masters: Height deprived – not short.

Mr T.K. Waldron: Vertically challenged.

Mr P.B. WATSON: This is serious. I refer to a young lady who is a short person.
