Yeah, well, it's one way, I guess, to avoid the media. And, you know, this man has been doing that quite well. Oh, but you'd have to say the election campaign started, three parties joined at the hip, they may be, but they're each seeking a vote and that vote comes from all three parties in a sort of a carousel really. And as you say, Nationals chief whip, I found it absolutely extraordinary that he wasn't at the National Party. caucus meeting on Tuesday because that is really the whip's job to be there. But he said to the media today, look, he didn't try to contact the prime minister before Easter. He said he didn't get a letter from caucus colleagues saying they were unhappy. And again, so what do you say? You have to take him at its word, at his word. And it's frustrating because I've been in this sort of situation before. And before, if you are the journalist that got on to the story, everybody's coming out now saying your story is not true, it's a media beat-up, but clearly it's not.
