I thank Senator Cameron for his question. It is actually a convenient segue from what I was just talking about—about how we believe in supporting the regions, on this side of politics; we believe in growing regional Australia; and we believe in creating new opportunities for those people who live in smaller towns, who might not have the benefits of those of us in larger cities.

This town here, where some of those organisations Senator Cameron mentioned reside, benefited greatly from that government investment, that government involvement in creating those investments in those agencies, and that is what we want to try to do in other towns as well.
