The member for Riverina yaps in and says, 'It's called heritage.' Mate, when was the last time you had a bushranger in Wagga Wagga, apart from you? We do not have that anymore.

I have been through this before because I have sat in the chamber with some people who have been directly related to mountain cattlemen.
