The reality is we are making real inroads into delivering on biosecurity—to the extent that, under the agricultural competitiveness white paper, we committed $200 million as a national government to ensure that we live up to our responsibilities. I'm proud to say that the Hodgman Liberal government are also undertaking their responsibilities by implementing a $2 million implementation fund to fight fruit flies. That's real action; that's delivery. That's what real governments do: we don't talk about it; we act on it.
