I just want to draw people's attention to the fact that we've just seen Senator Pauline Hanson, Leader of One Nation, in here voting to give herself a massive tax cut. I want to be really clear about this, because Senator Hanson was in here only an hour or so ago saying, here on the Hansard record during this debate, that she would not be getting any tax cut if this bill passed. Can you believe it? She's either got no idea what on earth she's voting on or she's lying to the Australian people and she's misleading the Senate. Let's crunch the numbers. Let's find out exactly how much Senator Pauline Hanson is going to get from this tax cut: an $11,815 tax cut. That's how much Senator Pauline Hanson has just pocketed for herself. That's what she's just voted for. She's just voted to feather her own nest. She came in here and lied to the Australian people. She lied to One Nation voters. She said she wasn't getting a tax cut at all. What a fraud.
