We have done our research. We asked a number of people—crossbenchers and the government. We have done our research. I want to make it very clear that One Nation opposes free trade agreements, because we don't believe they're fair trade. I'm pleased to see Senator Keneally now using our label. We want fair trade. Having said that, and having made that very clear this morning, I again say that we will support this, because it doesn't have any material impact. All it does is reduce the burden to companies, employers and jobs in this country, and it reduces the bureaucracy and the cost to the taxpayers. That is why we are supporting this. We will continue to oppose free trade agreements, but we will make whatever we have better in any way we can.
