I am having a chocolate cake, and you are welcome to come around. The matter before us is extremely serious. I am referring to the arrogance and hubris of this Prime Minister to allow a statement to be sent to the Senate today saying: ‘Get lost. If you want information about why I have given $5 million of taxpayers’ money with no strings attached to Gunns Pty Ltd, get lost. I will do what I like, and you will have no scrutiny.’ That is a disgraceful way to treat the Senate.
