The point I am making, Senator Rhiannon, is that you bring on these motions and you organise GetUp! to send all these letters to Senator Ludwig, knowing that he is so weak as a minister that he will roll over. Why haven't you done that about the people who are suiciding because of the actions that you initiated, because of Senator Ludwig's stupidity in banning live cattle exports and, as a result of that, putting out of business tens, dozens, hundreds of family farms in Northern Australia? Are you worried about that at all?
