They've also got to be on the TV, and I congratulate them for that—small mercies! What the member mightn't know because he's new here is that those opposite cut $20 million from emergency relief that we had to put back. So we put it back. We put back the $20 million they took out.

It's as simple as that. It's not that hard to get on top of. But the truth, as well, is that the range of measures that we have put in place—including 1800MEDICARE, including the education measures, including all of this support—make a difference for people, and all of them are opposed by those opposite, who just want to tear each other down and talk Australia down.
