I can hear the parrots on the other side of the chamber. They are the greatest impediment to the implementation of our policies. In the lead-up to the South Australian, Tasmanian and Western Australian elections, I think it is very important for voters to remember when casting their vote that a vote for Labor is ultimately a vote for the Greens. The divorce never happened; it was merely a trial separation. That is reflected in the stance that both Labor and the Greens have taken in every possible policy position on border protection. A vote for Labor is a vote for the Greens. Every time we have brought a policy into this place to restore the integrity to Australia's borders, Labor and the Greens have sided together to defeat that in the parliament. It is only a coalition government that will restore integrity to Australia's borders. When you vote for the coalition, you know what you are going to get. (Time expired)
