It's interesting that, every time we don't agree with the Greens on something, it's because we're on the take of the corporations or something like that, forgetting the fact that the Greens held the record for some time with the largest corporate donation in Australian history. That was from the Wotif corporation. But let's just go away from that. Maybe we don't support something because it's a stupid idea, and I think this is a stupid idea. All marks and no originality here, we mentioned Mayor Mamdani and what he's doing in New York, but it's been tried in Australia. If you go back to 1915-1916 in Queensland, Queensland thought, 'We'll go out there and we'll buy a whole lot of supermarkets, but we won't stop with that. We'll spend half a billion pounds'—
