I'll reiterate, Senator O'Neill. The Labor Party has members from rural and regional Australia. The Liberal Party has great members that represent rural and regional Australia. Several of them made comments this week, and I refer to public commentary of Tony Pasin, Rick Wilson and Rowan Ramsey, as well as that of Melissa Price from Durack in WA. They are really strong representatives from rural and regional Australia. But you asked what my job is, as the leader of the National Party in this place, and what every single National Party senator cares about. We have only one focus. We have only one constituency. We're not distracted by anything else, other than the needs and interests of rural and regional Australia, and we're very, very comfortable to fulfil that role.
