I certainly—and those over this side—don't associate with the imputations contained in your question, Senator Whitten. We don't believe that you advance anything in this country by pitting one group against another. This government has a very different approach, which is to work across the community, to work with industry and to work with the states and territories where we can to find areas where we can continue to progress improvements in productivity but also support areas of shared consensus. So we are looking at things like the single national market, simplified trade and reform tariffs—and this goes to your question about what we are doing—better regulation and how to speed up approvals. Of course, there's all the work we're doing in housing. We need to build more housing. There was not enough housing built. We had 10 years of those opposite doing nothing in housing. We are fixing that.
