I thank the Chief Government Whip for his question. Indeed, the House has now passed almost 300 pieces of legislation in the 43rd Parliament, delivering a mainstream agenda, making sure we get the economy right, making sure that we create jobs and taking action on climate change, better retirement incomes and of course nation-building infrastructure. This is significant progress, in spite of the obstacles and the relentless negativity we get from those opposite and also from some outside the parliament.

All of our major reforms have been opposed by those opposite and fought for on the floor of this chamber, and their actions have been supported, and indeed bankrolled, by their allies outside this place. We will see one of them outside this place tomorrow morning, when Clive Palmer addresses tomorrow's Global Warming Hoax rally. We will see, yet again, Clive Palmer with all the signs and the whole campaign.

Mrs Mirabella interjecting

Maybe we will see the member for Indi travel to outside my electorate office to attend a meeting with these people, Mr Speaker.
