Just before I do provide you with the statistics that I have been provided with to date—which in obviously in two weeks time we will be able to update at estimates—I would just say to any small-, medium- or large-business owner who is listening in to this debate, you should feel personally insulted by the attack that Senator Cameron, on behalf the Australian Labor Party, has launched upon you. The majority of business owners in this country do the right thing. To sit here and to listen to Senator Cameron deliberately undermine and malign them, God help business in this country if the Australian Labor Party and that attitude are ever again elected to govern. Businesses in this country deserve our support. Senator Cameron, I would be embarrassed if the closest I had ever come to a business was to close it down, but I know that you hold that as a badge of honour and shame on you—through you, Temporary Chair.
