I withdraw. Senator Shoebridge, the very beginning of your question went to your accusation that the government was working with the coalition, so I'm completely entitled to point out the many occasions on which the Greens party have worked with the coalition to block housing, to block environmental law reform and to block almost every other progressive reform that this Labor Party ever tries to do. Now, I've already outlined the principle that underpins this legislation, that if you don't have a right to a visa in Australia then you should leave, and that's what this legislation is about establishing.
