That's my point exactly, Senator Henderson—people should think about the claims that are made and think about who else is making them and think about the motivation behind these claims that are being made. The truth is that this motion emerges from that same swamp. It emerges from that same swamp. What should be of more concern is not that the extremists are the only ones engaged in this; it's that they have support within the alternative party of government. The extremists are developing relationships and support amongst a party that tries to position itself as the alternative party of government. We know that Senator Antic and Senator Rennick and Senator Canavan are all on board for the conspiracy theory stuff. We know that they are.
