Senator Di Natale has behaved in a despicable manner. He has sought to misrepresent himself as something pure and above the political fray. He has done nothing but to seek to ingratiate himself as the moderate voice of the Greens in this country. He has become a quisling of the Liberal Party, who is determined to do anything necessary to suck up to this government and to behave in a way which I think is quite dishonourable. What we have here before us is the raw exercise of political power. It does not have anything to do with transparency. It does not have anything to do with democracy. It is about exercising a purge of this chamber to secure the future political agenda of the hard right wing of the Liberal Party, and the Greens should be ashamed of themselves for being associated with it.
