Thank you very much, Madam Acting Deputy President. Thank you very much, Senator McGauran, and I do congratulate you on your re-preselection. So we will restore fairness, we will restore balance and we will restore decency to Australian workplaces. On that, there are only two prime ministers in the great history of this nation who have had the indignity of losing their seats: Stanley Melbourne Bruce and John Winston Howard. Why? Because they saw it as their duty to spend all their years in parliament attacking the fair, decent wages and conditions of Australian workers. Good riddance! Let us turn over a new leaf and start again. Let us get back on the right track.
