Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, and I shall do this because it is extremely relevant because, just like we are bringing greater efficiencies to the wine industry to reduce costs to try and keep family businesses on the family farm, it is very important that we note which side of the chamber does not believe in the family farm, does not believe in the right of a family enterprise to succeed—by their own statements. You know who else is in the AWU, the same union as Mr Paul Howes? It would have to be the Leader of the Opposition. That is who else is in it.
