I thank you for that admonition, President, and I thank Senator Pratt for the second supplementary question. I can answer that question, Senator Pratt, because, alongside our plan for a future made in Australia, our $400 million Industry Growth Program is helping Aussie businesses grow, ensuring that we increase our manufacturing capability and, most importantly, make more things here. We've delivered energy bill relief for Australian businesses, a tax cut for every Australian and higher wages for manufacturing workers.

These measures, each and every one, have two things in common: (1) they are supporting Australian manufacturing workers, and (2) the Liberal and the National parties tried to block them. It's clear that, under the Liberals and Nationals, Australians would be worse off. They are opposed to every bit of relief. (Time expired)
