In the few seconds that remain before we go to the adjournment, while knowing that the Electoral and Referendum Amendment (Electoral Integrity and Other Measures) Bill 2005 will be considered in further detail tomorrow, I would like to make a couple of points in addition to those that I made before. I make it very clear to the Australian people that this is about the Liberal Party of Australia implementing an agenda; it is not about an equitable and fair electoral system. I mentioned before the opinions of a number of experts and I want members to know that when we are back in here tomorrow I will be mentioning quite a few more that show that all this is about is the conservatives trying to rort the system to give them the opportunity to try to put in place ongoing domination of the electoral system as a result of changes to the detriment of young people and other disadvantaged groups in this country.
