None. I have here our bill.

An honourable member: Table it.

I will. There are around 350 pages here of a detailed, well-designed Commonwealth Integrity Commission. There's $150 million which has been put aside in the budget, through the budget process, to ensure that that can be implemented. We have done the work to ensure that an effective Integrity Commission can be implemented in this country.

There is only one obstacle to that being passed in this parliament—the Labor Party. The Labor Party don't support this model. They don't want this model. They want to be able to turn these matters into some sort of kangaroo court that can be used for politicking and gameplaying. The shadow Attorney-General, on nine occasions, has frivolously referred matters and wasted the time of the Australian Federal Police, and has been dismissed. I do not take the proposal from those opposite, which is only two pages long and consists of a couple of bullet points, as any serious proposal or intention. If you wish to support a serious proposal, here it is. I table it for members of the House.
