I am not. So 247 warnings and 39 removals versus 29 and zero! Mr Speaker, that is the context into which your ruling my question out of order fell. Your ruling my question out of order enabled the government to avoid scrutiny and enabled the Prime Minister to again do anything, say anything, mislead on anything or blackguard anyone when they put the facts of his adverse industrial relations legislation to him. If you are so confident of it, Prime Minister, tip out the stats, tip out the details and let OEA put out now what they put out in May. You will not do it, because you know what you are engaged in is a wages race to the bottom. But don’t worry: whether it is in here or outside we will pursue you from now until election time. (Time expired)
