Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister for Small and Family Business, Skills and Vocational Education) (15:03): As we were talking about yesterday, there is a clear choice at the next election: if you want to pay higher taxes, vote for Mr Shorten, the Leader of the Opposition, but if you want lower taxes, if you want a government that will back you every step of the way, if you want more money in your back pocket, then vote for the Liberal-National government, because, at the end of the day, the only plan that the Labor Party have for the Australian people is tax, tax and more tax. And not only that—when I talk to small and family businesses about their electricity bills, they tell me they are horrified at the prospect of a Shorten Labor government, because they know the only party that will put downward pressure on their electricity bill is the Liberal-National side. They are petrified of seeing increased electricity bills and increased taxes, because all that means is that they close their business. A business that has to close employs no-one. Senator Cormann: What a great way to end question time. I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper. The PRESIDENT: Senator Macdonald, are you seeking the call for a point of order? Senator Ian Macdonald: Mr President, I seek your ruling on the earrings that Senator Waters is wearing, which say 'Stop Adani'. Does that mean that I can wear into the chamber next week my coal hi-viz jacket? If Ms Waters is allowed to wear 'Stop Adani' earrings, will I be allowed to wear the jacket? The PRESIDENT: I will take that away and think about it. The ruling on your jacket has already been made by former President Parry. We had a discussion on this matter in your absence, where I made a ruling with respect to badges—that if badges have slogans or political statements on them they are not appropriate, but lapel badges and ribbons were in order. In the meantime, I'll offer you the opportunity to wear some earrings of your own before I make a ruling! Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: It's a Thursday. Can we have a little bit of brevity on a Thursday afternoon, Senators? I will seriously look at the issue, because slogans in the Senate, as I made very clear, have no place. Thank you for raising the issue, Senator Macdonald. Senator Ian Macdonald: Thank you for that. The Greens are putting up this code of conduct to follow your ruling, and this seems to be classic Greens hypocrisy. The PRESIDENT: I will take it away and consider it and make it consistent with my previous rulings with respect to badges.
