Do not tell me that that is not true. It is. Before I run out of time and the shadow minister runs out with a heart attack, I want to say that Calare is a dynamic area. We have had some knocks lately but we will come through it. While I do not like seeing agribusinesses taken over by foreigners, I am very happy to have foreign companies like Nestle, Mars, Ferrero and Thales, who are not coming to government demanding money. They are getting on and investing in themselves. With a new dam in the region, they, with us, will see this through. For my children and grandchildren and everybody else's children in Calare to have a future this budget is necessary because of the last six years.
