Like it's fantastic.

Like we collectively can solve things and we're used to solving things without funding and now we're back there again.

So we're back to the analogue days of finding what works and adapting things.

But having said that, like that's how with Kyle, he said he would use his wheelchair sling and then use like a little harness to pull someone to him.

You don't have to spend big money on that.

He showed me all sorts of things that you could just buy at Bunnings, you know.

So I think sexual aids, get crafty with it, guys.

And when I say this, I'm not even talking about like raunchy sex.

I'm talking about like you can have the most vanilla sex, no matter what you're into, like having better communication and getting more innovative with it is really fun, no matter what.

Isn't that how they always say it in politics?
