What I have said a number of times in this place and that the budget announced was changes to the capital gains tax arrangements apply the same rule across all assets to ensure that the system is simpler and fairer, and the system that is being applied is a system of real gains. Now, what I would say to the senator—

Senator Cash, everything is an outrage, isn't it? But what is not an outrage to you is the spinelessness of your leader when he is asked seven times about whether or not he supports Ms Hanson's monoculture and he is not able to answer. And I have to say, that stands in stark contrast to the courage that is shown, at least by Mr Hastie, who says he will not bend a knee to them, and, if I may, Senator Scarr, who gave a very decent contribution in this chamber in support of multiculturalism. I am wondering where the rest of the moderate wing of the Liberal Party are when it comes to this, and to their leader's silence on this.
