They know just what we're up against, Senator Duniam—that politicians and other people in my home state of Tasmania and elsewhere just don't care about this extinction crisis that we're facing. That way, they can vote. That way, they can lobby their local members of parliament to actually do something about this, because politicians have it in their hands if they choose to act. It is that simple. We can protect nature now by making the right decisions and getting some decent environment laws and a whole range of other things. Thank you for listening, Deputy President, and giving me a few extra seconds.

Question agreed to.
