Senator Boswell, can you go up to Queensland and out to those cane growers who rely on railway services and good roads, or those growers in the far north of Queensland or the mining companies, look them in the eye and say, ‘We’re doing the right thing for you’? That brings me to one thing. I just cannot help this, but I have this thing about Nationals claiming to represent infrastructure and transport. I want to steal a line that I found of Sir Winston Churchill. I thought it was one of the best ones that I had heard. I would like to relay it to the Nationals. It talks about the Nationals. It says: ‘They are a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma swallowed by a joke, covered in bananas, sprinkled with peanuts, dipped in ethanol.’ Mr Acting Deputy President, I thank you for your time.
