What I'd invite the senator to do is, therefore, when we are providing production tax credits for the mining sector, which will particularly but not only benefit WA—and I assume that vote will come up later today—maybe the test for you, Senator, if you were pro-mining, would be for you to cross the floor and actually vote with us for production tax credits for the mining sector. And if you don't, you and your colleagues will be demonstrated for what you are. You're prepared to play politics but not actually to put your money where your mouth is.
