Well, he is a doctor; he's a doctor of something. He's read a book and now he's changed his whole view about what's happened in the last three years. He's repudiated three years of Labor government, where they put in place 5,000 new regulations—and growing. Today we see in the newspaper or on the TV that there are going to be more regulations. Now YouTube is banned. All sorts of websites are going to be filtered by the government. We're going to have more and more regulations. The problem with this is that's not what the book said to do. The book told him that he needed to cut regulations and to abolish the thicket of regulations that he's been talking about alongside the housing minister and Dr Leigh. Maybe this book wasn't actually well thought through, in the sense that he didn't understand what it said. Maybe he needs to read another book because he's at risk of doing again what he did in the first three years, which is more laws, more regulations and more red tape, which is bad.
