Through these and other reforms I think the Liberal Party will act to make jobs of public servants more, not less, secure. I have no doubt that at the end of the term of the upcoming parliament, the first three years of a Peacock Liberal government, there will be more jobs in areas of current Commonwealth administration. Current public servants may be working for a State or Territory government, or for a private employer, but through greater efficiency there will be more jobs and more job security. I believe the only people who need to fear for their jobs as we approach the Federal election on Saturday are members of the parliamentary Labor Party.

Assembly Microphones

MR WHALAN (5.28): Very briefly, I would like to alert members to the dangers of these little machines here once the Assembly gets up. They are not turned off immediately, and what may otherwise be considered private conversations continue to be broadcast.

MR SPEAKER: Yes, in the past I have warned members of that possibility.

Ms Maher: Did you get caught out?

MR WHALAN: Someone else did, at lunchtime today.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 5.29 pm
