I am continually amazed at the hypocrisy from the other side—unbelievable hypocrisy. They are the ones that brought in the seven levies, and then they say they are great—no taxes! But, if you have a surplus, that means you have overtaxed the people. It is unbelievable. I cannot understand this hypocrisy. It just absolutely amazes me. They sit on the opposite side of this House, the ‘born-to-rulers’, and come out with some rubbish that we should not have to put up with. I hope we do not have to put up with it forever. They should one day realise we are here for the benefit of the Australian people, and that is what we are going to aim for.
