It's not enough, the shadow minister says, demonstrating that those opposite are now the big, tough cops on the beat. I would take those opposite a little more seriously if, in August 2013, the now Leader of the Opposition was not on the record saying how marvellous our financial services were—34 days before those opposite lost. That, apparently, our 400 per cent and 500 per cent increases for penalties aren't enough is simply a joke. It's a stunt, and frankly those opposite should be ashamed of themselves for seeking to make light of this and to score political points on this particular issue.
