Okay. Why don't we have a discussion about why we can't get obstetrics? Why don't we have a discussion about why we can't get aged care? There are a lot of discussions to be had, if you want to talk about 2024, about how your life in urban Australia, in the inner suburbs, is completely and utterly distracted and different to the life that we have to live. And the infuriation we have is that we hear comments just like that, scoring a cheap political point and being completely ignorant to the realities of the lives of the people who are actually doing it really tough in this nation.
