That's right—'Tell him he's dreaming'! Thank you, Senator Cormann. As I've indicated to Senator Sterle, there are 21,011 pensioners with shares in Western Australia who will be negatively affected by Labor's policy. I now share with the Senate the figure in my home state of New South Wales—84,569. In Victoria, it's 60,956. In South Australia, it's 18,294. In Queensland, it's 42,721. And, in Tasmania, it's 6,091. So you are robbing pensioners. You are taking thousands of dollars out of the pockets of pensioners at the same time as you are exempting groups associated with your union mates. That shows your priority, Senator Sterle.
