Well, indeed I'm sure he does. And do you know what? I'm not going to stand here and be lectured on integrity by the hypocrites opposite. I'm not going to be lectured on integrity by those who invented the 'Mediscare' campaign and decided that that was the way they were going to try to somehow win office: by scaring Australians on false policies. I'm not going to be lectured by those opposite, who are currently running the pensioner scare campaign, again trying to sneak into office on a falsehood. And I invite any one of them to stand up and apologise to Australian pensioners who, right now, they're erroneously trying to scare into believing policies that simply do not exist and that Senator Ruston has refuted time and time again. Those opposite come into this chamber and love to talk endlessly about car park programs, when of course they invented the car park programs themselves and were happily touring the country announcing them themselves—those opposite, trying to run their TikTok dirty tricks against the Prime Minister. That's the hypocrisy on show from those opposite. (Time expired)
