I can confirm for you—just in case you were in any doubt—that it is the heart of the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party and their supporters, which, of course, is playing into the concerns of the National Party. In this debate in this place, I was reminded very much of an event that happened under a former minister, Ros Kelly, with regard to the awarding of grants, where they were mapped out, effectively, on a whiteboard. Are you able to confirm that a whiteboard and a similar process will be used to determine where these grants should be given in the event of propping up marginal seats?
