I'd be happy for the member to relay to me outside of this place or send to my office what he's actually referring to. But what I can say to the House is this: once we work through the recovery arrangements across all the bushfire affected areas, once we get past the devastation that has impacted all of these bushfire affected areas, there will be a recovery. There will be a rebuilding. There will be significant economic activity going into these areas to rebuild these communities, and that will support their economies when that occurs. This is a similar observation to what has been relayed to us by the Treasury—that once you go through the process of rebuilding and recovery, that is what can support those economies get back onto their feet. Those were the remarks I made. Once again, I suspect, the Labor Party is seeking to be grubby on bushfires.
