I'll take the interjection, because he refers to $13 billion. That was JobKeeper's monthly bill. I know what it was, because we decided to put JobKeeper in place, and we believe it was a wise investment to ensure that, on the other side of when we came out of the first and second waves, our economy came back and a million people got back into jobs. As we got to the end of March, those opposite were warning; they were hoping for the worst for Australians, when we came to the end of March, that people would not find themselves in jobs and Labor could go cock-a-hoop here in this place. But what did they find? Australians back in jobs. Australians around the country were smiling and the Labor Party was frowning. That's because all through this pandemic the Labor Party has hoped for the worst. They've undermined the national effort. There is the constant negativity of the Leader of the Labor Party. He can yap and yap and yap all he likes.
