Thank you very much. We have said that we have been consulted on this. I'm quite happy with the information that I have received from the Treasurer, not from these voices I'm hearing here. The Treasurer has had legal advice and advice from other people directed from the minister's office, not these bits and pieces. I'll tell you what: over the years in this place, I've been told one thing, and it is definitely not the truth. It has been from ministers from the Labor side who put a spin on things that it's not the truth. So on everything that we do here we like to research, get our information and make an informed decision. You may not like the way that Senator Roberts and I are voting today, but our votes are always based on what we believe is right. That's the way we're going to continue to go. You can make all your snide, smart-arse comments in this chamber—

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Senator Hanson, I ask that you—

I won't repeat it; I've said it.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: No, I ask that you withdraw it. It's not parliamentary.

Then I withdraw it.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Thank you.

And that's exactly what it is, and the rubbish that's said in this chamber is not becoming. I can say the word 'rubbish', and I will say rubbish. Anyway, that's where it is. So, if you're not happy with the way that I'm voting, I really don't care, because I'll answer to the people.
