Thank you very much. The Australian people, if they're watching the shenanigans again from the Labor Party, will be very disappointed. Of course, there is supposedly bipartisan support for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, except that the Labor Party didn't properly fund it. What we have included in our budget is a measure to ensure that the NDIS can be properly funded. All of those numbers are public. All of those numbers are reflected not only in the budget but in all of the documentation that's been released since then. This is just the Labor Party playing games. You are the high-taxing party. No Australian believes for one minute otherwise. Everybody knows that, if left to their own devices, under Labor taxes will go up and up and opportunity will go down and down.
