They are clearly in a rush to get this dodgy deal through the parliament as quickly as possible before the wheels start falling off this ridiculous stitch-up between the Labor Party and the Liberal Party to ram through gambling advertising that no-one thinks will work, by the way. I know Senator Henderson is out claiming it was her great idea. The minister, Minister Wells, thinks it's her great idea. I tell you what, in six months' time no-one is going to take any credit for this because it is an absolute dog's breakfast right down to even the hours motion to get it rammed through. It is a rushed, foolish, dog's breakfast, dog of a bill.
Question agreed to.
