MR OSBORNE (4.26): I had the great pleasure of being invited to my old school - Christian Brothers, Lewisham - last week to open Ignatius Rice Day. The headmaster sent me down a copy of the history of Lewisham. I was browsing through the pages and I came across a paragraph that I thought I would share with you all. It says:

In 1984, Lewisham made it through to the finals -

of the Commonwealth Bank Cup -

ahead of 158 schools ... they were beaten in a close match by St Gregory's Campbelltown. The captain of the side was Paul Osborne who later on captained the Australian Schoolboys Touring Side to England, making him ... the best schoolboy Rugby League player in Australia.

Mr Speaker, I will sit down after that.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Osborne, for your modest contribution to the adjournment debate.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
