I'm actually not trying to play politics; I'm just asking questions about an amendment that you've moved, Senator Hanson. As I say, Senator Hanson and her colleagues have spent the day claiming to be moving an amendment here which will make many people in Australia better off. I ask you again: how many? Surely, if you were going to make that claim, you would have some idea of how many people are going to be better off. Do you have any idea how many people will be better off as a result of this amendment, given that you've spent the day claiming that people will be?
