Thank you, Minister. We're talking now about wasteful projects and talking about the previous government. Fair enough. Let's speak about that for a second. Let's speak about Snowy 2.0. Snowy 2.0 is a wasteful project; we all know that. It was the Liberals' idea; it wasn't even your idea. It went to $2 billion and then to $5.9 billion, and now we're looking at $12 billion. The boring machine—the one that digs all the tunnels and things like that—has been bogged for about a year. It got stuck. What are you going to do to fill that hole? Are you going to cut your losses and give up? How about nuclear instead? How about that? Let's give up on Snowy 2.0.
