I am excited by the MPI topic. I have the feeling of optimism. I was even more excited when I saw the three gentlemen on the frontbench over there—the three amigos of the leadership apocalypse: the members for Eden-Monaro, Longman and Mitchell, who sit on the frontbench as reward for their loyal support for the member of Warringah! They have been rewarded by their roles, and I am really happy for them. I am really happy to be debating them. Unfortunately, the member for Longman's first outing as the assistant minister was a pretty desperate attempt. We had 10 minutes of 'feelpinions'. We had 10 minutes of 'feelpinions' like, 'Why we can't we love each other.'
