It will be a long time before I answer your particular questions, I can tell you, Member for Rankin. And don’t preach to me about history; you have been prattling on for the last 15 or 20 minutes about history. The last thing that you gave small business in Australia was overdraft rates of 22 per cent, so I do not think we need any lessons from the Australian Labor Party.

We heard from the member for Prospect about feedback from business. The feedback that we get from business around Australia is that the very last thing they want is for the socialists in the Australian Labor Party to get their hands on the Trade Practices Act.
