I'm certainly talking to the part of the question which said what is that we're concentrating our efforts on. We have been working on cost-of-living measures, including, I'm pleased to say, a Medicare urgent care clinic which is heading to Bunbury—out your way. That's one of them that is coming. I've no doubt you can organise a demo or something.

The member opposite voted against the measures that have put downward pressure when it comes to gas. They voted against it. They voted against it. They voted against cheaper child care, increased rent assistance, more Medicare bulk-billing, cheaper medicines, boosting income support payments, fee-free TAFE. They're against all of that, because their concentration on issues—they've asked, this year, one question about AUKUS or international or national security. Now, we're in a situation where we're in a globally uncertain world. They've asked zero questions about resources or critical minerals; nothing ever, in the entire term, about skills or TAFE; not a single question, this entire term, about manufacturing; not a single question about education, not one, the entire term; one question about wages; and nine questions about health—but 93 questions about the Voice or other matters; 93! I'll leave those who watch question time to decide who's obsessed.
