There you go—Senator Feeney is a source of inspiration on the coalition side as well, and I do not think he needs that inspiration either from the coalition. These are focused amendments to deal with a wrong that occurred in South Australia on the state election day in March 2010. I think the numbers are not here, but this is something that needs to be dealt with eventually. I do not think that the amendments will cause the problems that Senator Ryan is concerned about, because they are quite narrowly focused, but that is another debate—a debate about truth in advertising.
