We are including the correct parliamentary titles, Mr Deputy Speaker. In the dining room, presumably, is the member for Melbourne Ports; detained somewhere else, the member for Isaacs; distracted somewhere, the member for Richmond; diverted somewhere, the member for Werriwa; redeployed somewhere, the member for Hunter; somewhere else when he needed to be here, the member for Scullin; taking a tea-break somewhere, the member for Bruce; having smoko, the member for Shortland; gone fishing, the member for Fowler; navel-gazing, the member for Chifley; simply nowhere to be seen is the member for Throsby; running away, the member for Ballarat; fleeing, the member for Fraser; retreating, the member for Jagajaga; surrendering, the member for Perth; folding, the member for McEwen; flailing, the member for Blair, who you can normally not shut up; floundering, the member for Gorton; fading, the member for Hotham; vanishing, the member for Parramatta; in hiding somewhere, the member for Fremantle; limping away, the member for Oxley and the member for Sydney; scurrying away, the member for Moreton; dithering somewhere, the member for Greenway; dissembling somewhere else, the member for Lalor; dodging somewhere else, that member for Lingiari, who should be down here to defend his actions in the last six years; ducking away, the member for Lilley, who held up this entire process; running away, the member for Wills; weaving somewhere else, the member for Kingsford Smith. Member for Calwell, Member for Gellibrand, you are just so lucky—I have run out of adjectives.
