And we will. We are looking forward to it, Minister Wong. We are looking forward to talking to construction, forestry and mining workers about your outcome for their world. We are out to try to get them more money. We are out to protect the dignity of their lives. You are out to take them on some fantastic trip, for what is left for them at the end of the day is poverty, destitution and an economy that is completely out of kilter with the rest of the world. That was your outcome. That is what you are going to deliver them. And they are a wake up to you. We are going to drive this agenda and we will drive it persistently and without query and without equivocation. Today is a good day, because the Australian people are going to see the debate, the debate on the technicalities, and how completely implausible this whole tax was. Today is the day that we start pointing out that you had this unitary outcome, a unitary decision on the price of a permit with apparently a multiplicity of baseline preambles.
