There have been reports that pie shop workers are not safe. There will be no pie shop workers safe under a government I lead—or an opposition I lead, as the case may be!

Mr Champion interjecting

I am not the one that went to the Fin Review and started talking about it. I digress because I am being encouraged to digress by the member for Wakefield. Let us go back to the scenario of owning a pie shop. I own a pie shop; I have a couple of employees; and I have some difficult customers from time to time—in the event that the pie is cold, for instance, and the customer is not happy and expresses his concern. What I want in that circumstance is to be able to grow my pie shop—grow the pie, so to speak, and make the pie bigger and maybe hotter.
