Was it Monday night? Time flies this week, but they had drinks the other night this week. There's no doubt that they're being buttered up by the Prime Minister to try and ease and smooth those negotiations with them that might occur in a few months time. Again, the Australian people won't have any knowledge of those or any control of those.

The only way the Australian people can stop those backroom deals that may sell out Australia again is to not vote for—and not re-elect—the Labor Party. They're the ones that will do these deals. They're the ones that are already doing it. They're already having these discussions. They're getting ready for it. So if the Australian people don't want that kind of chaos and if they don't want that kind of non-accountability to the Australian people, they can't vote for a box of chocolates, because that's what these guys are. They're a box of chocolates; you'll never know what you're going to get. If you vote for the Labor Party, you might get a nut.

Question agreed to.
