The mob who came in here and voted against energy price relief for small businesses have the hide to stand up here and speak about the costs when it comes to small business. But of course, we heard from the Leader of the Opposition, who had this to say:

Well, I'm the opposition leader, right, and the joy of being the opposition leader is that I'm not in government.

That's what he had to say. I'm not paraphrasing. That's exactly what he had to say.

I tell you this: we were in opposition for some time, and we had no joy in it. They have joy in it, because whether they're in opposition or in opposition in exile, sitting on the opposition bench, they're never for anything, only against it.
