Well, it's not a joke, unfortunately. I'll take that interjection. Sadly, it's not a joke. It's a truism. Labor really needs to start remembering the workers, the workers who made your party what it is and who did build the roads and who did go out and actually work for a living.

But anyway, Ms McCulloch talked about policy uncertainty and—this is interesting—a deteriorating approvals environment and the threat of new taxes. As for approvals, it takes so long to get anything done in this nation, so very long. It doesn't matter whether it's the local, state or federal government level, it just takes too long. As for the threat of new taxes, why do you think, Member for Cook, she would mention new taxes? Because you know why?
