I am surprised that Senator Lambie would disagree with my characterisation of the opposition as being antiworker, but here we find ourselves today.

In conclusion, I want to say this. The fact that they are getting such enthusiastic support for this bill from the people they claim to oppose in this place, the fact that Liberal member after Liberal member in the House got up and enthusiastically supported this bill, should give them pause for thought. The fact that when the bells stop ringing they will be sitting next to a bunch of unavowed antiworker senators should give them pause for thought. It's shameful that not only is it not giving them pause for thought; it's not actually going to change their position.
