I thank Senator Boswell for raising some factual issues rather than alluding to conspiracies from all around the world. As I already indicated in an earlier answer, the government have a package, they are talking to the sector and they are working through the guidelines and the processes. We will take on board the legitimate points that Senator Boswell has raised and consider them. But, as to the conspiracy about some American organisation, if Clive Palmer were a member I could understand why you would be particularly concerned. Clive Palmer has been very clear about what he thinks of the Liberal-National Party, but do not worry: the only person in the Queensland Liberal-National Party who he thinks is a good bloke is Senator Brandis.
