Governance today as I see it is essentially about three things. First, it is about the cost of living and the economic efficiency of today's resources—that is, using today's production capacity. Second, it is about security—protecting today's productive capacity. Third, it is about ensuring future productive capacity. I look at what Liberal and Labor governments have done in the last 70 years and I see that we've destroyed our productive capacity, because we now have energy policy that's driven by the UN. We've gone from the lowest price of electricity to the highest and we're now giving handouts to foreigners. We're stealing farmers' property rights so as to comply with the UN's Kyoto protocol and we have water prices that are exorbitantly high and are punishing farmers and other users, due to UN policy. We need to restore our productive capacity, because this is the productive capacity that will provide the production and the opportunities for the future. We've got to stop stealing the opportunities from our people and actually start building the productive capacity.

Question agreed to.
