I completely and utterly reject the offensive premise of the question. We are focused on one thing and one thing only, and that is Australia's public interest. We are focused on building a stronger economy and on protecting the environment in a way that is economically responsible, because we care about the opportunities for Australians today and into the future to get ahead. We care about that. As I said in my previous answer, I'm quite relaxed about what causes people want to pursue in their private time. That's a matter for them, but I think the position of the government is very clear.
