You may laugh. We are talking about real people, and I tried to localise that for you and drill down to show you how many people are affected. There will be something like $62 million going to people in my electorate of Braddon, on top of those stimuli that we introduced in the budget and through other measures. Those people are grateful for this, will benefit from it and do not take kindly to the funny games that you might like to play. We as a parliament have a responsibility to be positive and confident about our nation and to support what we are doing about that.
