Mr JOYCE (New England—Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development and Leader of the Nationals) (14:23): I'm only too happy to answer the honourable member's question. Within the coalition and within The Nationals, we diligently went through the process, as we've always said, to make sure that it was something that looked after people in regional areas. One of the big things we were looking for when we did that—because it was incredibly important that we checked and went through it—was to make absolutely certain that there was no legislation in there that enforced things, because we don't believe in penalties. Opposition members interjecting— Mr JOYCE: They believe in penalties. They believe that the state reigns supreme over the individual. We believe that the individual rises above the state. They believe in penalties and enforcements—and you're part of that. They believe in legislation. Legislation brings in laws and laws are enforced by penalties. Those laws and penalties put coal workers at threat, put meatworkers at threat, put the people of the Hunter Valley at threat and put the people of Central Queensland at threat. It's legislation that they're looking out for. We were making sure that the people of Central Queensland and the Hunter Valley were safe. We diligently went through that process so that we could go forward with a plan that stood for the people of business. We believe in the inspiration and the smarts of the individual to rise above the enforcements of the Labor Party, the red tape of the Labor Party, all the obstructions of the Labor Party and, finally, the unemployment of the Labor Party.
