Yes, I think I am. As I've indicated, we believe we should work with businesses across Australia to create jobs. We should be supporting the business sector to do that. In a way, we agree that we should give peace a chance with the business sector, to support their jobs. But over there, their current leader—the current leader, at least, of the Labor Party—wants to have a war on business. That's the Labor Party's approach to supporting job growth in this country—it's to have a declared war on business in this country. The casualties of that war will be the young Australians, the jobseekers in this country, who will have limited opportunities because the Labor Party wants to go to war with business. Well, I think we're growing a coalition in this place, among us, on this side of parliament, and amongst some others in the Labor Party—like the member for Grayndler, Mr Albanese. They, too, want to give peace a chance. They want to start to create peace in our time with our business sector, to create jobs. And let's hope we can build that coalition in this place to create more jobs for all Australians.
