I would like to speak on the motion moved by the Treasurer. It is extraordinary that the Treasurer is moving this motion. His No. 1 priority, the thing he wants to talk to the House about, is how votes get counted—not his plans for the economy, not his policies, not the future of the Australian economy but political matters. That is the Treasurer's one big priority this week. He gave a speech last week. At least Rob Oakeshott had an announcement to make at the end of his 17-minute speech!
