I will dim it down and direct it through you, Deputy Speaker. For the member for Hunter to say to me, to us and to people in rural and remote communities, 'When have you ever cared about the environment?' is an absolute insult to every country person. In fact, it's an insult to his own electorate. The member for Hunter has just insulted his own electorate, because he lives in regional Australia, and he said, 'When do his members ever care about the environment?' We'll let the member for Hunter's electorate know that he just said that.

Not only that, but we have a lot of environmental issues. We have a lot of issues about both the environment and culture. There are also massive concerns that we have about the waste disposal of these things.
