Thank you for that protection, Madam Deputy President, because it is important that I do quote these words. I will continue quoting this. This is the cracker. Are you ready for this, Senator Macdonald and Senator Hume?

In another twist late yesterday, One Nation's WA leader Colin Tincknell said his party would have put Liberals ahead of Labor, the Greens and Nationals whether or not a deal had been done.

I cannot believe my luck today. He also goes on to say:

"We were always going to preference the Liberals before Labor and the Greens and the Nationals anyway,"

Are you still there? I am just making sure. How is that for a good old-fashioned slap in the mouth?
