I think that is a very inaccurate characterisation by Senator Whish-Wilson of the issues with which we are dealing. Perhaps that is the preferred approach of the Greens, I do not know. I found Senator Whish-Wilson to previously have taken a rather more sensible approach, it is fair to say. The turn of words that Senator Whish-Wilson used does not really merit a sensible response, or a response, because it is so since simplistic and it is so founded in inaccuracies.
