Firstly, I reject the premise of the question. I reject the characterisation you've just put before the Senate. Millions of Australians tonight are grateful to Senator Lambie for having decided to back in the legislation to deliver the lower income taxes for all working Australians that the Australian people voted for, because it will mean up to $1,080 into the bank accounts of millions of Australians from the end of next week. So I completely reject that characterisation in what you've said. Have I had conversations with Senator Abetz in relation to these matters? Yes, I have.
