Red-faced with embarrassment, they try to throw back some interjections. They are embarrassed because today they stuffed up. You need to have a bit of a forward think in this place. Occasionally, when a government puts forward its own bills, somebody just might say—a really good opposition, like Labor—'We agree with you. Let's do it. Let's vote on it now.' And they go, 'Hang on; no. We won't vote on our bills.' We will. Let's put the bills to the parliament. I think people get how that works. The Liberals voted against their own bills. I am wondering how they are going to explain this to small-business people.
