Thanks very much, Mr Speaker. The member for Dawson asked about the cost of the referendum. But in fact half of the cost of the referendum was in the forward estimates provisioned by the former government—by the former government! It was there in the Liberal Party's budget handed down by Josh Frydenberg, but they just forgot to do it! Election after election, they went to elections and said they would hold a referendum. They provided funding to hold a referendum.
