Sit down and count them, Senator McGauran. There have been hundreds of reviews and quangos set up by this government since the last election—hundreds of them. And they have the gall to have a shot at us for making a range of commitments in respect of reviews and investigations if there is a Labor government elected. I just make the point that, when it comes to having a track record on reviews, quangos and all these new investigations, this government leaves the Labor Party’s commitments for dead. We will support the amendment.
