That is just completely ridiculous. I completely reject it. Actions speak louder than words. Our government is taking strong action to protect consumers, including through legislation that is in front of this chamber this week. If the Labor Party hadn't wasted so much time this week in trying to weaken our borders—in fact, weakening our borders—we would have made much more progress with the legislation in front of us. All I know is that, as I look at senators across the chamber, I am sure that they are praying and praying that the parliament is not recalled, all the while making the political argument in the public domain to score some political points.
