It is about transparency of the budget process. Those opposite have said they will repeal the MRRT and will be doing so because they have got someone who, since 2004-05, has donated a total of $3.7 million to the coalition.

Mr McCormack interjecting

Wait for it, Member for Riverina: compare the $3.7 million Clive Palmer has given to your side with the $150,000 he has given us. Those opposite, who are committed to repealing the MRRT, are unable to be transparent in the way they operate and are unable to determine or show us how he influences policy, and they then lecture us about transparency. It is a joke. (Time expired)
