Senator Cameron foolishly interjects. Say that to the former president of the ACTU and former Minister for Trade, Mr Simon Crean, who says this is good jobs. Indeed say it to the various other Labor luminaries who have been talking about this very issue like John Brumby, Kevin Rudd, Bill Shorten, Penny Wong, Jay Weatherill, Daniel Andrews, Simon Crean, Jay Weatherill again, Michelle Rowland, Michelle Rowland, Craig Emerson—the list goes on of Labor luminaries supporting the Chinese free trade agreement. But of course what we have from the Australian Labor Party is the exact double-speak that was revealed in The Latham Diarieson page 318, where Mr Shorten says to Mr Latham at the time to support the free trade agreement with the United States, but they will oppose it to the workers. That is the double-dealing of the Labor Party. (Time expired)
