Like Senator Brockman, I was sitting in here doing my duty, listening to Senator Cadell and Senator Colbeck. It is just unbelievable. Senator Colbeck referred to the hypocrisy as breathtaking. Well, what we do know about the Australian Greens is that if they didn't have double standards they wouldn't have standards at all. I think we're starting to see that also from those opposite, because we will quite often hear—and I note Senator Ciccone likes to get out and visit with Victorian farmers. His Facebook and his Instagram are quite full of photos of him out meeting with farmers and promoting agriculture. Quite often, on this side of the chamber, we suggest that Senator Ciccone should actually be the minister, because potentially he might stand up to Minister Bowen.
