Before I go to the issue that I intend to speak on, I will comment on the last contribution by Senator Bushby. It is very interesting that in the lead-up to a Tasmanian state election next Saturday all Senator Bushby can do is to smear and attack the existing Labor government. You would think that as a leading Liberal he would be able to offer one visionary position for the Tasmanian Liberal Party, yet he offers not one policy position, not one visionary position and not one ‘Vote for us because of this’. All he offers are smears and negativity. I think that probably says a lot about what the Liberal Party stands for in Tasmania, and it is not very much. I do not know why you waste our time, Senator Bushby, coming up here with that sort of contribution.
