I congratulate Senator Brown. He is a master tactician leading a bunch of dopes. Talk about rope-a-dope! He has roped them one after another and while he is picking up momentum the Labor Party are bleeding momentum. You are not going to have one blue collar worker left, Senator Cameron. I learnt something the other day which I never knew and never suspected: Senator Cameron's union actually funds the Greens. Did anyone know that? Senator Cameron's union funds the Greens; so does the CFMEU. I could never understand where Senator Cameron was coming from, but he who pays the piper calls the tune.
