I'm talking about the Aviation Consumer Protection Bill. I will talk about the coalition's proud record of aviation during the pandemic and the way it acted honestly and decently during that terrible time, which is in absolute contradiction to what we just saw, which was an act of betrayal—trying to ram through bills that you hadn't taken to an election. The public will wake up to that, and you will feel the pain of that, I'm sure, at the ballot box because the tradition of parties taking legislation, saying what they're going to do if they're being elected when they're significant changes and then doing the exact opposite does not go down well with the Australian people.
