Well, let's face it. The opposition, when they were in government, did nothing to attempt to solve this problem, and now, when this government is seeking to help resolve the problem, you're seeking to block it. You did nothing when you were in government. You're lined up now with the Greens—and we saw just a moment ago what the Greens are interested in. They're interested in cheap political points. We are not about cheap political points, Senator Pocock. We are an action government. We believe in solving the problems that we inherited from the former government, and that's exactly what we are going to do. But we need to pass that legislation, and we need to pass it now.
