I thank the Senate. For all the hyperbole from the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, let us just remember that she presided over a government in this place, with the Greens, that guillotined 52 bills through this place without one single syllable having been spoken. Hypocrisy, thy name is Labor and Greens.
Secondly, in relation to gagging and guillotining, this package of bills has had 33 hours and 52 minutes of debate in the Senate and, according to Labor, that is gagging and guillotining. As for the Prime Minister's press conference, as we speak he is flying with the Prime Minister of Japan to the Pilbara, not to have a news conference about this matter but to continue our relationship— (Time expired)
