We still have no transparency. If the federal Liberal Party or Labor Party get a loan, when they are paying the loan back out of people's political donations, apparently, they are not counted as political donations; they are counted as loans. I can tell you now that that to me is absolutely political corruption. I look at this and see that these people over here get $30 million—and I've got no idea because there is no transparency—out of what, at the time, were supposed to be political donations but are now called loan repayments. You don't see that as a big gaping hole?
