Oh, 'Australian resources'! They can say 'resources'. The Treasurer obviously said the names of the things that we sell overseas. They can say 'resources', but they can't say the word 'coal'. Some of them could say the word 'gas'—many of them couldn't say the word 'gas' either—but none of them can say the word 'coal'. Celebrate it. It's how your ministers went up and guaranteed our fuel supplies. Coal was an important part of that, as was gas, so celebrate that.

The other thing I'll remind those opposite of as well—I don't know if any of you are regional—is the $400 billion worth of stuff. You need to be reminded. That $400 billion worth of stuff all comes—the main things that come out of Australia are regional. There are no coalmines in your electorates, there are no meat abattoirs in your electorate, there's no gas—

I'll take the interjection. What's the interjection?
