Mr Deputy Speaker, the previous speaker attributed the collapse of manufacturing in Australia to the Greens. That is what she said. She was entitled to say that. Well, I am entitled to say that under her party—and she does not want me to say it, but I will be saying it in her electorate during the election campaign, the honourable member representing the area near Shepparton—the dollar was driven from 52c to 90c, which halved the income of every single farmer in her electorate. Does she want to deny that—that the dollar being driven from 52c to 90c destroyed agriculture in her region? Does she want to deny that? It would be interesting to see it in her paper if she denies that.
