I am sorry, Mr President. Those opposite have no credibility whatsoever on these issues. You supported the Victorian government tramping its way into national parks until Minister Burke tossed them out, and that is as it should have been. Those opposite make no attempt to ask serious questions in this chamber. They have been derelict in their duty as an opposition and they are reduced to baaing like Senator Macdonald is at the moment—the most intelligent contribution Senator Macdonald has made in years.
