Mate, without them we are buggered! I take the interjection. You speak to those advocates who have now made a business out of selling dung beetles. If you do not have any on your farm because of the weather conditions, there are now commercial operators that you can go to and buy them. You buy them in one- or two-kilo packs off the internet; they will be bundled up; they will arrive in a stock standard Australia Post bag in your mail, depending on where you live; and then you take them out and spread them through your paddock. I am surprised there are not more members from the Greens here speaking on this, because this is truly a green initiative that is driven by our regional and rural members of the coalition. Some of the most arid landscapes can be transformed virtually overnight because of the incredible efforts. If you do not think that is exciting, I do. All hail to the dung beetle.
