I mean that sticks out. I think they've got to acknowledge that other things have been done. The IR legislation has certainly been one good example that appealed to our core members in terms of the values that the Party stands for and the environment legislation. I think that these have all been great wins in recent times. Now it's widely thought that by next year, you would be in a position to take over the leadership and historically that's meant coming from the deputy leader's position.
Most leaders come from being a deputy leader.
Look, I think at this stage all I can focus on is the leadership challenge that's been put forward. Certainly it's a case of making sure that choices are made available to the members. As to what the future holds, I wouldn't want to speculate. Aden Ridgeway, thanks very much.
