I thank Mr Connolly for his comments. I endorse the comments he has made. Taking advantage of my speaking time, Mr Speaker, I do not know whether there is a second-hand dealer or a pawnbroker in Downer, in the Downer shopping centre.

Mr Berry: Come on; relevance.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Berry. Relevance please, Mr Collaery.
