Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:12): I thank the member for Denison for his question. It is good that he has asked me this question once. The member for Bass, the member for Braddon and the member for Lyons have asked me this question absolutely dozens of times. I cannot go into the party room without being asked that question. These cauliflower ears were produced not by too many scrums but by chewing! These members from Tasmania—Bass, Braddon and Lyons—have been chewing my ear constantly about the freight equalisation scheme. I say to them and, indeed, to the member for Denison— Ms Collins interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Franklin will desist! Mr ABBOTT: that the coalition invented the freight equalisation scheme, we continued the freight equalisation scheme and we support the freight equalisation scheme. Mr Albanese interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Grayndler will desist! Mr ABBOTT: It is safe with us now and forever.
