I don't have the results of all of those seats in front of me, but my guess is that, in all of the seats that you just mentioned, Labor got a swing to it, and one of the reasons we're now on this side of the chamber rather than the other side of the chamber is that we got a majority of seats at the last election. So the Australian people voted in an Anthony Albanese government, obviously for very good reasons. We've seen over the last three months what a terrific job Prime Minister Albanese has done. He's been a fantastic example of what a prime minister ought to be and what a prime minister ought to do. I think that when this legislation passes, either tonight or early in the morning, the Australian people will once again know that, if an Anthony Albanese government says they will do something, that's what they will do.
