Back in February 2009, we were in this place in the early hours of the morning—actually the evening of the 4th and the morning of 5th—

Mr Conroy interjecting—

The member opposite was not there, so I will enlighten him on that. I was here at 4.24 in the morning on the 5th and was prepared to deliver a speech about the Tax Bonus for Working Australians Bill 2009, which the Rudd government was trying to implement. I never got to deliver that speech because the Treasurer came in, along with the member for Grayndler, and did his piece and guillotined the debate.
