Well, the National Party have clearly had their wings clipped this week, and they're a bit grumpy, aren't they? They're a bit sensitive and a bit touchy, because they've had to roll over on the amendments that would have provided free access to sport. We're rushing through. We're about to have it. At one o'clock, the bill's going to go through here, and the National Party are locking out half of Australian households from being able to access sport on their phones and on their smart televisions without having to pay exorbitant fees. So they've let down regional Australia on this. Now we have this bill. There's an amendment that they say they support the notion of, but they don't have the guts to vote for it. What is the point of the National Party? What is the point?
