I proudly represent rural and regional Australia and feel I have a significant contribution to make on this motion. The leader of the National Party has a real hide in putting forward this matter of public importance, given the way that the former government treated rural and regional Australia over a 12-year period. I note that the leader of the National Party could not even find somebody from rural and regional Australia to support him in this matter of public importance.
