Well, that was a long 10 minutes! My electorate of Eden-Monaro, with the towns of Bombala, Braidwood, Bega Bungendore, Bywong and Binalong, absolutely meet the criteria of inner-city elites—absolutely! It's absolutely outrageous: townships of 200 people—absolutely they meet that criteria! What a load of bluff and bluster that was. If the member were so concerned about regional Australia, those over there only had nearly a decade to do something about it.
The previous Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison government was known for being long on the story but very short on the delivery: all photo-op and no follow-up.
