The member for McMahon wrote a letter today. The member for McMahon wrote me a letter about paid parental leave. He did not write me a letter back when I wrote to him about GrainCorp last year. In fact, he just left it on the table.

Mr Bowen interjecting—

I was what? I was wrong? I do not think I was wrong. I wrote you a letter asking for your response and you never bothered to reply. But that is not uncommon in Labor, because they did not often reply to a lot of things. They did not often reply when people wanted them to rein in expenses, to rein in the debt and the huge deficit that our country was being left with.
