I like the cartoon in The Australian yesterday (Monday 29 April 1996) showing 
Paul Keating enacting his departure from politics "with honour".
It reminded me of the discussion last year, and suggestions from the minor 
parties not to allow MPs to resign from the service in the Parliament at will. 
I think the proposal was to make them pay for the cost of the by-election (or 
at least a part of it). Is this still going to happen, or can someone just 
decide a few weeks after being elected that he doesn't really want to serve 
the people who elected him after all ?!?
