As I was saying, I am pleased the opposition has become interested in foot mats, because when this outbreak reached Indonesia on 9 May, what did the former Minister for Agriculture Mr Littleproud do? Did he introduce foot mats? Did he introduce a biosecurity response? No. Do you know what he did? He sent a tweet! He sent a tweet; that is the only thing Minister Littleproud did at the time. And then he didn't say anything until 6 July.
