Todd Muller and Nikki Kaye are the leader and deputy leader.

I'm just standing in a corridor, and hopefully we'll see them in a couple of minutes.

Yeah, and this is something which has happened multiple times, projects which get canned at enormous cost to the taxpayer, and also not ultimately getting the boost to the economy from new infrastructure, arguably.

My question, I suppose, is given we saw this with the carbon zero, with Todd Muller from National, James Shaw from the Greens, basically welding a compromise together across the political divide, and then that's been pretty heavily tested, hasn't it? What makes you think that the McAnulty Bishop, particularly given all the ructions we've had in the National Caucus lately, is actually endurable and is bigger than just them?

Well, everybody's put their names to it.

They have put out documentation in public where Kieran McAnulty and others have put their name to it.
