Again, from the Labor Party and Penny Wong, what a theatrical experience that was to watch on the floor of parliament. The whole fact is that, if you're so worried about the workers of this nation, if you're so worried about small business, with Senator Gallagher saying, 'We need to pass this for JobSeeker,' then start working to get it passed. If not, where's your notice of motion to continue it tonight? 'Let's stay back tonight. Let's work tonight. Let's stay till tomorrow.' Where's your notice of motion for that? If you're really worried about the workers of this nation and small business and JobSeeker, where's your notice of motion? The filibustering and the lies that have gone on in this parliament are absolutely disgusting. You've actually dragged this out, because now we've got a six- to seven-week break in this parliament. If you really care about the workers, if you really care about JobSeeker, then work to get these bills passed. As far as I'm concerned, you don't give a damn— (Time expired)
