Mr Deputy Speaker, I will come back on that but I indicate that the next speaker will gets points of order to gobble up time and the sort of behaviour that we have seen in this parliament all week from the coalition. If you want disruption, you will get disruption. You will get plenty points of order.

The opposition leader is the godson of BA Santamaria. He is an interventionist. He is an anti-reformer. He has actually said that he worshipped the water that BA Santamaria walked on; that he is a lifelong admirer. BA Santamaria was an interventionist. Whatever you might say about his religious views, he actually believed that capitalism is intrinsically more evil than communism. That says it all. That is the position of the opposition leader. He is an interventionist and he has demoted each and every member who believes in markets. (Time expired)
