Judas Iscariot was given 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus. This is clearly one of the 30 pieces of silver that the Australian Greens are getting for supporting this ridiculous safeguard mechanism legislation, a stitch-up deal for getting up an inquiry up that they would otherwise oppose. This just further demonstrates exactly what's going on in the dark rooms with darkened windows, filled with smoke, where the Greens and Labor stitch up deals to set up committees like this one. I find it outrageous. We will let it go through, but it's another example of what happens in this brave new world of Labor-Green government.

Question agreed to.
