The natural state of affairs for the National Party is confusion. The natural state of affairs for you, Senator Barnaby Joyce, is of course confusion. You are seeking to filibuster this bill because you do not want to face up to your responsibilities to this country. You wrap yourself in the flag at every opportunity, but you refuse to actually do anything to defend Australian workers or defend Australian jobs. You have one interest, and that is to serve foreign interests. That is the name of the game, Senator. You are a disgrace.
