My response to that question is that we are doing what we can to support small business and to drive down inflation in this economy. The people that are seeking to block that and stop that are those opposite, so it's a bit rich to come in here and go, 'What are you doing? What are you doing?' when every vote you have in this chamber is to oppose a measure the government is putting in place to support people through a period of higher inflation. So you can sit there and raise questions, but the real measure is how you vote. When you vote in this place, you vote against energy bill relief. You vote against the cost-of-living measures that we have put in place. That is the reality, and your voting record showings it while we on this side get on with responding to challenges, engaging with COSBOA, looking at ways that we can support small business as the engine room of our economy. We will continue to do that, including in the renewable energy space, which is a real opportunity for small business in this country.
