I simply asked for you to show me the evidence that Labor was using during the last election—
The TEMPORARY CHAIR: What's your point of order, Senator Lambie?
Sorry. My point of order is that you are not answering my question. You are giving me a lot of babble. My point of order is that you are not giving me the evidence that was used when you ran the campaign—
The TEMPORARY CHAIR: Senator Lambie, that's not a point of order.
Let me rephrase the question. What evidence did Labor use during the 2022 election to go out there and tell age pensioners that the coalition intended to put them on the cashless debit card? I want to know where you got the evidence. I want to know where Labor got the evidence to say that the coalition was going to do that, because you spent a lot of time scaring age pensioners about that and that's really unfair. I think that's a real low point for Labor. I want you to supply me with the evidence on how you came up with that, that the coalition ever said they were going to put age pensioners on that card. Where is the evidence? That's what I'm asking you. Every age pensioner out there deserves of an answer. Who was lying? Show me the evidence that the coalition said this on paper or said it elsewhere. Show me where you got that evidence from? You are not getting away with this, not tonight.
