You just came in and asked a question about it. There are geniuses in the tactics committee! There's a lot of chatter about the member for Canning, who's insisting he's running again. Good luck to you, Member for Canning. Certainly, if it's you or One Nation, I'm for this bloke, let me tell you. That's where I come from. Good on you, for standing up to them. I suspect there's another bloke having a go over here—the bloke who stands up whenever a question is asked and moves two or three points of order and makes sure his KPI of getting on the TV 10 times every day is reached. Because why would you ask that question? Why would you ask that question?
I'll make this point. When it comes to this gentleman, I don't know who he is. Obviously, the Leader of the Opposition mentioned him in his speech. He's obviously a mate, and they think it's very clever to do all this. I'm quite happy that more money is going to charity. I'll make that point. But let me make this point as well. If it's a choice between someone who's in the sector somewhere and who's got enough money to buy billboards and spend all this or first home buyers struggling to get into a home, I'm for the first home buyers. I'm for the first home buyers. I'm for the people who have nothing to give but their time. I'm for the people who work hard. I'm for the people who have a right to have the security of a roof over their head. Let me tell you this: the more they go down this road, the more aces we will serve up.
