I hear Senator Humphries saying it is pathetic. I believe it was pathetic. He ought to have voted for that funding option when it was here, but he did not. He voted it down. That shows you how seriously the opposition look at the all-important and critical matter of having the funds available for an important measure like this. They failed, they did not take it seriously, and they have to bear the responsibility for that failure.
