I had a quiz the other day that said to me, 'Can you give us a question for a quiz round night?' I said, 'The question is: what is the Christian name of Senator Dastyari? The answer: Sahand.' I do not know if they got the quiz right that night, but anyway. Thanks for confirming if I have pronounced it right or wrong.

So those from the party of dictatorship, where you do as you are told, you just do as you are told and keep going. On our side of the politics, in the Liberal-National party, we are actually having a debate. We are having a discussion. We have got a report. We are sorting out what is the best. We have been in the party room for hours, working out what is the best situation to guarantee supply, to reduce costs and to do the right thing. That is because the situation we face is simple: if we do not have cheap, reliable electricity, we will not have manufacturing and we will not have jobs. We will not have anything. Everything will be moved overseas. That is the situation, and we will stick by it.
