MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I am not sure that we can do that, for practical reasons. Perhaps you might like to table it, Mr Kaine.
MR KAINE: I will table it, but I would like to incorporate it in Hansard if that is technically possible.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: We will examine the matter.
Leave granted.

Field Guide to the Birds of the ACT
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (9.55): Mr Deputy Speaker, let me add to the seriousness of the night, and I am as serious as Mr Kaine was. With Christmas approaching and members anxiously scouting around for appropriate gifts, I suggest to you that you consider this little publication Field Guide to the Birds of the ACT, which was sponsored by the National Parks Association of the ACT and was launched today. It was made possible by a significant donation by Mr Alastair Morrison, who has had a lifetime interest in birds. It has an excellent text by McComas Taylor and drawings by Nicolas Day. I can assure you that, at about $15 or perhaps a little more, you get an excellent present. They are generally available and I would urge members to think about that.
Member's Clothing
MR LAMONT (9.57): First of all, I wish to comment momentarily on the taste exhibited by at least one member of the Opposition in relation to the issue that he raised this evening. I am quite pleased that he decided - to use the vernacular - to take the mickey out of me for the purpose for which that photograph was taken. I feel quite proud that we have two local manufacturers that I have been able to support, as I do most other manufacturers in the ACT. I would hope that members opposite would also decide to buy locally. I understand that both Ms Szuty and Mr Moore do so regularly.
I could give a run-down of Mr Humphries's blue and white shirt and talk about the sartorial elegance of the legal profession, which he attempts to emulate without necessarily being one of them, and where he buys his accoutrements. I could talk about the Brylcreem that Il Gatto Pardo uses, but that would be almost a contempt of this house. I do wish to say, Mr Deputy Speaker, that I am quite pleased to have been able to promote the skill of the people employed by Lampros Shoes and Christopher Palmer. I thank Mr Kaine for raising this opportunity to promote local products. It is a pity that his colleagues will not do the same.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 9.59 pm
