I'm sure I will have a chorus of support about that. What I really don't want to see is a Labor-Greens, Albanese-Bandt, alliance after the next election. It just does my head in, because we saw just yesterday the all-too-cosy relationship between the Greens political party and Labor. The Greens have caved in on the housing. What was the cosy little deal, the little arrangement, they may have made? We'll find out. But the Greens stand for upsetting the rhythm of the traditions of this nation, turning society on its head—that's what the Greens stand for. If they were just an environmental party, it would be all well and good, but they're not. They want to change Australia. They want to rip down the flag. They want to end Australia Day. They want to ban horseracing. They stand for everything that the Nationals do not stand for. I tell you what: if Labor has this cosy relationship with them after the next election, God help Australia.
