Senator CADELL (New South Wales—Nationals Whip in the Senate) (15:14): What a rousing defence of the workers from Senator Sterle. Let's face it, he has to do it here because in his party room they don't listen anymore. Over there they've become the party of the entitled and the party of the unburdened. We saw that in the vote on the weekend, and here with questions about the Voice and the cost of living. We have seen very clear voting patterns. As to those directly affected, Indigenous people, I will grant that Indigenous people voted mainly in favour of the Voice—not at 80 per cent, but they did. I won't play games with that. We also saw the young, who are unburdened; they're studying; they're not paying their mortgages. And we saw the very, very rich, in the cities—the entitled; those with six- and seven-figure bank balances, to whom interest rates going up is a great thing. Under this government, they're just getting richer. If you've got a million bucks in the bank, you'll be $50,000 a year better off, thanks to the interest rates here. Those people think that spending cutbacks and cost-of living pressures, as I said, mean buying a South African malbec instead of an Argentinian one or skiing Japan instead of Whistler or Aspen. They're fine. They are unburdened. Those people that voted yes are unburdened by any of the bad things going on in the world. It's like TheHunger Games. Those in the city want the tribute from the bush and the regions and the suburbs. They bank their balances. They make their money from the iron ore and coal we mine in the regions and the food and fibre we make in the regions. So, when Senator Sterle gets up here and talks about the trucks, he's talking about the vehicles in which we send our tributes so the cities can make their money and build their skyscrapers. They are out there in the world, and they don't notice, they don't hear, the cries of the people doing it tough—the burdened; the oppressed; the people who want to have a voice about what their life is like. But this government doesn't want to hear. They want people like the Alan Joyces of the world, the Qantases and Wesfarmers—all the corporate people—saying, 'What a great thing this is.' And then, when we had our 'deplorables' moment in Australia, what did they get called? 'Racist', 'stupid', 'dickheads'— The DEPUT Y PRESIDENT: Senator Cadell, withdraw. Senator CADELL: Sorry. I withdraw. But this is what they were called. That's the respect that the entitled give the workers of this country—the people in the regions and the people in the suburbs: 'Come into town, fix my dunny and get the hell out again.' That is what it's like. And this vote was so bad because this was about telling them what they had to think. If you had a voice of your own and a thought of your own, you weren't entitled to them; you were a person who didn't deserve to have that say. And that is where we're at. Don't hear their cries to have better lives, safer lives, affordable lives. Listen to your corporate elites. Listen to the people who already have money and the things you want, because—oh, my God—as we go forward, it's only going to get worse. They want electricity in these cities, in these shining examples. We'll send tribute. We'll destroy the landscape with wind farms out at Oberon. Everywhere between Oberon and Sydney, we'll just take your land for transmission lines. We won't even have an inquiry for you to have a voice in this place, because you don't deserve a voice. That is what we're getting to and what we are becoming. On the ABC—back in the day, when it was the AABC, the 'all Australians broadcasting corporation', before it became the WABC, the 'woke Australians broadcasting corporation'—we had a show called Upstairs, Downstairs that mum watched. Now it's becoming 'cities, not cities'. It's the same thing. There is a division in this country along the lines of wealth and power. The people who create the wealth—the ones who do the work, make the things and drive the trucks—don't have the power. So Senator Sterle is up here today, and he's giving them a voice, because the people in his party room don't want to hear it. They don't want to hear about the real people and what's going on there. I had a member of my own party who wasn't feeling important enough on the other side and went off to get his invitation to 'wokeland' by leaving us to go off and oppose us on the referendum. He didn't contribute to the internal conversation within the Nationals about where he was going to go, but he wanted to be important, he wanted to be someone, so he went out there. Then 71.79 per cent of Calare voted against what he said. There's never an opinion he thinks is more important than his own, and he followed it. And the people of Calare, one day, will make him atone for that. But, with this government, look at the Voice, look at the cost of living, look at this—and it's all coming. And what are they going to reinforce it with? We heard it mentioned today in another question: a misinformation bill, to stop you being able to have your say. They want you silenced, and they want you— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Cadell. Senator Smith.
