We stuffed up crowdfunding? We stuffed up something that just came in? That is pretty impressive! Thanks for that, Member for Hindmarsh! You go back to sleep, and I will go back to telling the facts that people deserve in this debate. In the regulatory framework for crowdfunding, people want to get access to capital to help their start-ups. Again, in the report handed up in May, the Minister for Small Business said he is a big fan of it—and what do we see? Nothing. Nothing but delay. Nothing but words. Whenever it comes to deeds, there is a failure to actually follow through. This is the legacy of those opposite. They tell us hand-on-heart that they are in favour of small business, but they never, ever deliver.
