Senator AYRES (New South Wales—Minister for Industry and Innovation and Minister for Science) (14:51): President, Senator Bragg wanted to describe Australians who disagree with their negative approach to policy as having no brains. There are no solutions, no plans from the coalition—none that they haven't read out to One Nation already. They're just pouring scorn on ordinary Australians who dare to disagree with people skills over here.

One Nation, Nationals and the Liberals competing for—Senator Bragg over there playing the role of Scarecrow, no brains, apparently! The Nationals, One Nation and the Liberals competing for the role of the Tin Man, having no heart at all for ordinary Australians. But the role of the Cowardly Lion has already been taken, President.

Mr Taylor unambiguously is a walk-up start as the Cowardly Lion—no courage at all. (Time expired)
