Senator Canavan, I would encourage you to think about how following One Nation has gone for your party, because you more than anyone in the National Party has enabled One Nation, and that has resulted in the National Party being almost eliminated from the political landscape. So, Senator Canavan, I'd think twice about backing in One Nation. It hasn't really gone very well for you.

Senator Bell, one thing I can assure you of is that this Labor government will never take policy advice from the One Nation party. We won't be taking it on this issue and we certainly won't be taking it on things like your desire to abolish compulsory superannuation, cut wages and cut paid parental leave and all of the other cost-of-living relief we're providing.
