J.M.A. LENSINK:</by>  Mr President, it is very difficult to answer questions when I am constantly being interrupted by one of the various corellas opposite. However, I have complied with the requirements. The Labor Party clearly is antiaspirational. It continues to demonstrate its loathing for people owning shares and should be judged. Indeed, it shares that unfortunate disposition with the federal Labor Party and, goodness me, look what happened to them at the last election.</text>
        <text id="201909111527b7927f33462080000073">If I have any advice for them, I would encourage them to examine that particular attitude that they have. The honourable member also seems to have completely not read the estimates <term>Hansard</term>, at which I was asked a range of these questions, and I responded to them. So I don't think I have anything to add.</text>
