We wish to stop rorting. As Senator Hanson has stated herself, a number of people can give us examples of where people have rorted the system, used the same Medicare card repeatedly for many, many people. Having photographic identification would make sure that that would be minimised. Senator Smith himself, in criticising One Nation's proposal, acknowledged that perhaps they will be going even further into the future by looking at holograms and looking at biometric identification. That's very tight, indeed.

We are pleased to see that we are at least starting the debate to bring accountability back. That's because, as I keep saying, the people who pay for the undoubted fraud and the people who pay for the lack of integrity are the taxpayers. Our supporters, One Nation voters, have a moral compass and a very strong work ethic. I can give you examples of the lack of integrity, but I will just commend this bill to the parliament. I also seek leave to continue my remarks later.

Leave granted; debate adjourned.
