That's true, Mr Speaker. I was asked about confidence. I answered the question about confidence. At the last election, the Australian people expressed confidence in the economic plan that we took to the election. It was an economic plan that was about lowering taxes, that was about $100 billion in infrastructure investment, that was about expanding our export opportunities and that was about dealing with deregulation in the economy. Since the election we have announced that we are going to further deregulate measures that stymie investment and that we are working through the challenges that are faced in the industrial relations area. We took to the election our plan to keep the Australian Building and Construction Commission. Today Master Builders Australia are in the building; they're here at the moment. The Labor Party wanted to take away the rule of law in the building and construction industry, which would have taken people's jobs and rewarded union thugs like John Setka, who continues to stage a sit-in in the Victoria Labor Party. So whether it's the Setka sit-in in Victoria, the walkout of factions in Western Australia or the corruption we're seeing in the New South Wales Labor Party, the Leader of the Opposition is presiding over a party that is chaos and confusion and even corruption.
