Last night some of us crossbenchers supported the Greens and Labor in voting in favour of them. I just want to stand up and say that it's hypocritical for Senator Burston to talk about hypocrisy when last night he wasn't even here for the first vote. He was at dinner. He got back for the second vote and voted with the government. Yesterday, One Nation could have voted with Labor and with the Greens and taken care of it all. I will be voting for their amendment, but I just want to make that point that it could have all been fixed up yesterday.
