I'm happy to take interjections as we go through, but we could get rid of stamp duty. The Labor state government could get rid of stamp duty in North Queensland—and that could happen in other disaster places around Australia. We need to encourage the Premier to find where her spine should be located and get rid of stamp duty, which would lower the premiums by 10 per cent. The first 10 things in the ACCC report are about the state government.

An honourable member interjecting—

I'll take that. I agree with you. The state government are all talk and no action. They have done nothing. It's a shame, because they don't care about North Queensland. They only care about propping up their coffers for the next state election. It's a shame that the people of North Queensland are once again being treated poorly and like mugs by the Labor state government, which really should look after us.
