I notice the laughing from those opposite, but we want to make sure that every single member on that side, on the government's side, comes in and absolutely owns this deceit. We want every single one of you to be able to come in and to be able to look the Australian people in the eye and say, 'We said one thing before the election, and we're doing the exact opposite now.' It is incredibly important that the Australian people know that those opposite have no respect for them whatsoever and that you were prepared to all go to the people in your electorates and say: 'We will not change capital gains tax. We will do nothing on negative gearing.' Yet here you are. You're going to do the complete opposite. Now, I thought we might be able to give those opposite a little bit of a hand in how to deal with the broken promises. Are you going to gag me? You're going to gag me!
