 Brad BATTIN (Berwick) (09:46): On another note, I want to congratulate the member for Rowville and the member for Croydon, who over the years I have had the pleasure of working with. I note the member for Rowville is here right now, and he did say yesterday some of the good things he has had during this time. I will say to both of them as mentors and as people I have had the opportunity to work with that I thank them both for their service and for what they did. To the member for Croydon, who is not here, those in this room who know, they will know that when he walks into your room with that glass of whisky after you have had a bad day and comes in to support you is the highlight and one of the reasons he is such a great character. I wish them both all the best.
