We come here as parliamentarians not to hope but to actually implement legislation to improve the lives of Australians. There are a lot of Australians right now hoping that their electricity bills can be lowered. There are a lot of Australians out there hoping that they can pay their next round of bills and buy their groceries, because of the cost of living right now. While I am sure hope is wonderful, it doesn't answer the question, doesn't provide outcomes and is actually quite irrelevant to the conversation that we're having when we're determining legislation for the benefit of Australians or when we are determining legislation for an amendment to our Constitution, because our Constitution is our nation's rule book. My question hasn't been answered.
