Not one tree was planted, Senator McDonald. I don't think they're growing, sadly. I don't think they're growing, because not one was actually put in the ground. I've got a shovel ready to go. We should start planting those trees. Come on, let's do it. We know that the previous government promised one billion trees and then at the last election said, 'Actually, we're now only going to promise a couple of hundred million,' instead of the one billion that they'd promised. Again, we see the opposition, who are constantly backflipping all the time, promise one thing to the Australian people and then after the election go back on their word. That was the rhetoric and the narrative of the previous Morrison government. The previous Morrison government was all spin and no substance.
