Senator JOHNSTON (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:03): Thank you, Mr President. I remind the senator that David Epstein, who I am sure he knows, on 5 March said: The ALP should remember the prospective constraints the Act imposes on a company playing in an international services market. Remember is the operative word. The ALP had amendments to deal with this ready to legislate in 2009. It cannot claim consistency is on its side. They have been caught out. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator JOHNSTON: Again, I quote: It's puzzling when a party claiming to be progressive wants to compound out-dated interventionism with a market distorting loan guarantee specific to Qantas. This is a step down the Argentine road. Let me tell you: we are recovering from that. We deal with the Argentinian fiscal policy that you brought to bear every day in government.
