Oh, he is, just ask him. Do you reckon he's let all his constituents know? I don't think so, somehow. Even though this is all about modernising Australia, I've got a funny feeling that he would not have communicated with all his constituents about this. I wonder why! This list says it all. You're all embarrassed by this. You're all absolutely embarrassed about this. I get it. If I was ripping that money away from 1.5 million pensioners during a cost-of-living crisis, I'd be embarrassed as well. I'd be so embarrassed that I wouldn't even want to come to the chamber and speak. And the funny thing is—have a look—none of them are here to speak. Have a look at the one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 lining up to oppose this. Who's for it?
