Now, I've proposed the bill.

Now we're going to have a debate on it in coming months.

Now, we know the Labor Party and the Greens will vote against the bill.

The really interesting thing, Sam, is what are the Liberals and the Nationals going to do?

Okay, so it's sort of going to wedge them.

Because I would guess 80% of people who vote Liberal or National would say, yeah, that's fantastic, Libertarian Party, let's abolish the Department of Multiculturalism.

And I'd say 90% of Liberal Party members and National Party members would say, yeah, abolish it.

But their parliamentary team can be very weak.

So it'll be good.

But look, the Liberals and the Nationals did recently support a bill that we proposed, which is about uranium mining, which is banned in New South Wales.

And we're trying to lift that ban.

And the Liberals and the Nationals did do the right thing recently.

So that was a positive.

Well, look, even if we get it through the upper house, OK, with the Liberals and the Nationals, we would go close.

But then we wouldn't be able to get it through the lower house.

But it'll be a good symbolic move if we can say that one...

you know, one half of the parliament has said we should abolish it.

But look, by moving a bill like this, which we fully agree with it, what the best part about it, Sam, is we get 20 minutes to make the case before the whole parliament.

And they can't do anything about it.

And they've got to sit there.
