I'm not going to say. She wanted to see a restoration of our democracy, a restoration of the true greatness of what your side could be. But I only saw that from one person. Instead, there was this lining up like it was a wedding. Guess what? It was not a wedding.

In my electorate of Swan, time and time again people have been telling me that the minimum requirement for being a member of parliament is integrity, principles. I think it's extraordinary that we have this bill where we need to actually look at this. Under the previous Liberal government, there were no actions on a national anticorruption commission. There was not a draft bill. Legislation was not introduced to the House. They were asleep at the wheel. The substance of this bill is making sure that we have a parliament that we can trust, a democracy that we can believe in and a democracy that we can have for future generations.
