Fifield, Sen Mitch

Senator FIFIELD (Victoria—Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Assistant Minister for Social Services) (14:29): I am not surprised at all that Senator Ludlam is endeavouring to scaremonger at this point in time. It is something that the Australian Greens sought to do over the full term of the previous Tasmanian parliament and it did not stand them in terribly good stead, as the results of the weekend would testify. So I simply urge the senator not to engage in such scaremongering activities.
