I'll continue to take the interjection, because this is what caused people to not come to the Hunter. This is why us bringing down this excise now, with the 16c that we're cutting, is a good move and a move that will genuinely make a difference for the people in the Hunter.
We need to make sure that we continue to look after not only the people of the Hunter but also those all around this beautiful country. We can argue till we're blue in the face, but you know what? The people in the Hunter don't care about that, nor do the people in the Hunter care about what you're saying here. But do you know what they do care about? They care about being able to get fuel at a price that they can actually pay for. They care about getting their kids to the sport that they've got on the weekend. That's what they do care about.
