And don’t talk to me about Malcolm Turnbull. Mr Rudd could buy and sell Malcolm Turnbull twice over. And let me tell you something else. The Labor candidate in the electorate of Herbert, in Townsville, where I come from, is another multimillionaire on the back of the McDonalds franchise, of which he holds the monopoly in Townsville. Labor Party candidates who criticise Liberal candidates for being wealthy should have a look at their candidate in Herbert, who is a multimillionaire on the back of the McDonalds franchise, or their own leader and his wife, who are multimillionaires. That sort of thing we should not look at. My time unfortunately has drawn to a conclusion. I do urge the Senate to support the bill. (Time expired)
