activity, by whatever name. Property values will drop, but some of the people there probably have not sold for 50 years. They are not that concerned about their values. They are concerned about heritage, the environment, that delightful open space.

There is another small thing I noticed at the Remembrance Day ceremony the other morning. I have been to many Remembrance Day ceremonies around the world. In what other part of the world would you hear, during the minute of silence, the twittering of birds, the galahs - and I am not talking about those opposite me at the moment - and the other things that are part of the bush capital? They will steadily be pushed out of that area of Forrest; that is a fact.

We will be debating, first off tomorrow, the disallowance of this Forrest matter. So, you had better gird your loins and come prepared for what you have got into with your mates, because we will take you on over this development. I will save my powder until then.

DR KINLOCH (9.19): I very much appreciate the excellent statement of the leader of the Residents Rally, the continuing leader of the Rally, the leader of the Rally into the next election. I much appreciate Mr Jensen's dissenting report. I like very much what Mr Moore had to say. Indeed, he was speaking in the way that he steadily has spoken when he has been true to the values that the Residents Rally has consistently followed.

It is a very simple matter for me. In 1927 some public land was given to some citizens for some very useful sporting purposes. They are now intending to subvert that use. Instead of using the land for sporting purposes, they intend to use it for developer purposes. That is wrong.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
