Well, I have to say that, and I'm pleased to say, no one will probably ever beat my record now as the longest serving Attorney General since the Second World War. Rex Mason, Phil, is the overall winner in that regard. But I don't think anyone can beat my record. I beat Ralph Hannan by a few weeks because he died in Tasmania. But so, yeah, Chris takes over the Attorney General role. How that is regarded as a demotion, I do not know because I think it's a pivotal role within government. The role of the attorney is to ensure that the business of government is conducted in accordance with the rule of law. And X is that pivotal link between the executive and the judiciary, on which topic much of the interaction with the judiciary, of course, is done with the Minister of Justice. And some weeks ago, I was talking to a former civil servant who said to me, he spoke to the Secretary for Justice once and said, who are the most difficult people? that you have to deal with in your job and the he said i suppose it's prison officers and he said no it's judges because they are an extremely um self-important group of people i better not queer my pitch when i appear before them that uh yeah so but they're very difficult and uh requires a lot of uh sort of gentle handling because they're a separate branch of government So Jim McLean said to me once about Attorney General, it only takes about five minutes a day for the greatest of respect to Jim, it takes a lot longer than that. It's extremely sensitive. So I'm actually very pleased for Chris that he got it. I would have thought Tama Potaka was an MLM from Columbia and experience in Bill Gully, my old firm, and also a large New York firm would have been a candidate, but there we go. Yeah, a lot of talk about his missing out on or being removed from leader of the House, which has grown into an extremely important non-departmental responsibility. And I'm going to quiz Phil from time to time during the programme tonight. Phil, who was the first leader of the House as opposed to the prime ministerial minister in charge of the legislative? sort of department.
