Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. I believe that the context of that question was on the premise of a policy brought forward by the then leader of the Labor Party, the member for Maribyrnong. What I can say about the member for Maribyrnong is that he seems to have a more substantial policy direction in regard to any target than the member for Grayndler, who in his time in the seat has not presented any policy on how he would achieve the objectives he wants to achieve. What we have in this place is quite clear: we have a policy that has been developed and planned diligently, I imagine, over an incredibly long period of time by the leader of the Liberal Party, the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia; we have a process of analysis that is now being conducted by me and the Nationals; and we have a complete and utter void on the other side.
