I would hope, then, based on that question, that Senator Canavan will get in and support the measures that the government has put in place to improve productivity after inheriting the worst growth in productivity in four decades: providing more housing, boosting renewables, investing in skills, grabbing hold of the technology and opportunities that come with that, human capital—perhaps any of that. Does any of that interest you, Senator Canavan? Is there any of that that you might like to get behind? All of those are about securing the future growth of our economy and seizing the opportunities that come with it. Where do those opposite want to go? Back to the 1950s, I reckon—that's where they're going. We're looking forward, in all those areas. Senator Canavan, if there's one area in that long list I read out that you might like to support, we would welcome that.
