What I am concerned about is this: the government think that what I am suggesting is a disgrace. That is nothing on what is coming as a result of their actions in allowing the Australian political system to be corroded and corrupted by these sorts of devices. In the past you were satisfied with trying to lift it from $1,500 to $3,000, Senator Abetz. This time you have gone for the jackpot. You have moved it up to $10,000, which I say in reality is $80,000 because of the way in which our political system actually works. In reality it may be much higher than that figure. (Time expired)
