I will be brief. I think I must be doing something right, because both Senator Feeney from the government and Senator Ryan from the opposition have completely mischaracterised and misrepresented my amendments. Let us put this in perspective. These amendments relate to misleading conduct at polling booths where people get dressed up and say that they are representing Family First, another minor party or another Independent and then hand out how-to-vote cards when in fact they have nothing to do with the organisation. There were volunteers dressed up as Family First spruikers when in fact they were Labor Party stooges or volunteers.
