You ought to talk; you are a great one. Let's have a talk to the nuffington over there who has done absolutely nothing but decimate his electorate. He and his mate from Corangamite shut down the national rural farmers health service. They shut it down—because they do not support farmers. They do not support people in regional areas. They sit there and they say they do all these things and they get the clown prince 'Jaja Binks' Joyce over there to come in and rant and rave, but he could not talk about the budget. The reason he could not talk about the budget is that this petrol tax the government increased, despite saying that they would not increase taxes, is hurting rural and regional Australians.
