I'm just making it clear that the Jacqui Lambie Network will not be moving off this either until you remove those exemptions for your mates or your political donors. We're going to go to and from one house to the other. You're not going to go anywhere and you may as well give up on this bill, because that's where we're at. Stop wasting people's time. It's absolutely shameful where you are right now—that you have let your political donors influence you once again over what is best for this country. That is enough. So, unless you want this to go to and fro—or you want a win on the board, Minister—I suggest that there will be no exemption for your mates or your political donors. It's as simple as that. Until we get to that point, it's not going anywhere. You may as well put it back on the bench so it continues to collect the dust it's been collecting in the meantime.
