Ah, Senator Rennick gets a go. His own side won't give him a go so he has to have a go during Senator Hanson's question. What I was actually about to say, prior to Senator Rennick's interjection, was that Labor has always stood against the privatisation of Australia Post, for example. But the nature of Australia Post's services is changing over the years. I know that they're increasingly moving towards parcel services rather than postage, but they do provide a vital service to rural and regional areas in particular—as well as servicing our cities increasingly with the parcel business that they have been operating.

Senator Hanson, I'm happy to come back to you on notice with the answer to your specific question as soon as I get those details.
