Senator HANSON-YOUNG (South Australia—Manager of Australian Greens Business in the Senate) (18:29): To be fair—and I think it's worth putting on the record here—the Reverend Tim Costello asked the government to ban inducements and asked for the government to have done it three years ago. I don't think it's a good idea for the minister to come in here and verbal the reverend.
Does the government believe that free tickets to the football, business class flights, Christmas hampers and tickets to the races, where you get to hang out with the hot models in the birdcage, are appropriate inducements?
