On a brighter note, I want to share with the chamber a magnificent weekend I had two weekends ago. I was invited to the National Road Freighters Association annual conference down in Shepparton. I tell you what, you could cut the air with a knife; they were on such a high. They were so rapt and they wanted to have first bragging rights because of all the work they had been doing around this building, lobbying for transport reform in the closing the loopholes bill. They were so rapt, and they wanted me to personally thank the government senators, the Greens senators and the crossbenchers Senator Pocock and Senator Thorpe. But I wanted to pay my respects to outgoing president Rod Hannifey—I'm just looking at the clock, and that's not right, is it? (Time expired)
