Sorry, President. I'm just so surprised that the Greens are asking us to stop them from taking the donations that they have been taking for a number of years from the gambling industry. Let me remind you, Senator Rice: in 2022 the Queensland Greens accepted almost $500,000 in donations from a highrolling gambler, despite pushing for a ban on political donations from the gambling industry. In 2019-20 the Queensland Greens MP Mr Berkman had been critical of the LNP and Labor for accepting donations from gambling interests, but the highest donation in an election year in Queensland in 2019 was indeed to the Greens from Mr Turpie.
