And I applaud that, because the opposition should take heed of what the Australian people voted for at the last election. They did vote to restore fairness to the workplace. They were presented with two clear policies from the federal Labor Party prior to the election, in our Forward with Fairness policy and implementation plan, and that is what we are delivering on. The only thing at the moment which is holding this Labor government back from delivering on its promise to the Australian people is Senator Abetz and the people behind him. You are the only things that are holding us back. So my suggestion, Senator Abetz, is perhaps you should get out of the way.
