John Faulkner thinks you were a very good shadow minister, and so do I, Senator Kemp. In fact, anybody who was around at that time—and, unfortunately, many who are now in the chamber were not—would know that the Liberal Party had quite wrongly been thought to be offside with the genuine green movement for a long period of time, and we barely spoke; or, if we did speak about the greens, or they about us, it was always in very antagonistic ways. But Rod Kemp—and again, I say this very seriously—cultivated a friendship with Mr Marr.
