Yes. It is a very brief time indeed, Mr Deputy President. Then again, the Abbott government, as you know, has had a very brief time. We have had just under 100 days of the Abbott government and so far it has been bad for education, bad for Australia's foreign relations, bad for Australian industry, bad for transparency, bad for accountability—but it has been very good for comedians. I thought I would just leave this very brief contribution by congratulating the best effort from the comedians, which goes of course to the Minister for Education, Mr Pyne, who has managed to get the Twitter nickname, after all his broken promises, of Mr Pyneocchio. That is a very good effort in just two months.
