The Minister for Human Services, who is at the table, makes a very good point. The Australian Labor Party launched this MPI today. The Australian Labor Party came into the chamber and claimed that it is very concerned about the future of Telstra. At present there is not a single representative of the Australian Labor Party in the chamber for this debate. The Australian Labor Party, which says it is so concerned about the future of Telstra, is so unable to legitimise this rhetoric that it cannot even have a member sitting at the table for this debate.
