I am quite entitled to remind the Speaker and point out that the member is not in her seat. She does it all the time—she is a serial offender. The worst of it is Dr No can only say 'No' to anything sensible. No, no, no. He has difficulty in saying 'Yes'. We know that he has no answers for this year that was supposed to be the year of ideas and the year of opportunity, that Labor promised to give us. What have they given us? Only no, no, no. You can still hear it in the interjections—'No, no, no'. It is amazing that all I can hear is 'No, no, no'. That is the sound ringing in my ears. I look forward to seeing the minister, Mr 'Fix-it' Pyne, get back to looking at the higher education area because he is going to fix this problem. He is Mr Fix it, and Mr 'Fix-it' Pyne is actually going to fix it.

Opposition members interjecting—

You guys gave him the name, and we gladly take it. He finds a problem and he fixes. He is going to be known in this case as Minister 'Fix-it' Pyne. Thank you, guys. We think that is a great title, because we know that he is actually going to deliver. He is not like those on the other side who can only say, 'No, no, no'. We know that Minister Pyne will fix the system because it is broken and it absolutely needs to be fixed.
