00:00 Otherwise it's just all a lot of bold talk and no action and people are sick

00:06 of it. These inquiries have been going on for years. Everyone's sick of it. The

00:11 farmers know that the Food and Grocery Code has been totally ineffective. The

00:17 consumers know that it has been ineffective and you only have to walk

00:20 into any supermarket and see the evidence of that or listen to what the

00:24 farmers have said here today. So we are calling on the National Party, we are

00:29 calling on the Liberal Party, we are calling on the Labor Party to back up

00:33 their bold talk with deeds and action and vote. Back up your words with a vote

00:40 in Parliament when this bill hits the Parliament in the next couple of weeks.

00:45 Notice that this bill will be given next week and it will be going into

00:48 Parliament the week after. Back up your words, back up your bold talk with some

00:55 action. Let's have enough of the talk fest and let's actually get this going.

01:00 You did nothing when you were here. You did nothing when you were an act because all you're about is the stunt and this is what

01:07 you're doing now isn't it? You're all about the words never about the work.

01:10 You quit when you didn't get staffed because you didn't want to have to do

01:13 the work. You love the paycheck, you hate the hard job and these people here

01:18 have been suffering under your watch.

01:21 No, no, no. He spent his time attacking you. You spent your time attacking

01:27 Woolworths and Coles. Why don't you spend a little bit of time attacking Woolworths

01:32 and Coles instead of playing politics.

01:36 Mate, you know I was a stunt man a few years ago. I asked this bloke why he left.

01:43 He said because every one of the principles. You let me speak. Don't speak over me again.

01:51 Now I'm warning you, don't speak over me.

01:55 He thought he knew better than you.

01:57 Listen to this, this bloke won't shut up. He won't let anyone else have a say.

02:00 And I can understand why he won't let anyone else have a say.

02:03 You're taxpaying money to start.

02:05 Don't keep interrupting me. Don't keep interrupting me. Do you hear me?

02:09 Don't keep interrupting me. I have a right to have a say. You don't know you don't.

02:14 Every time I open my mouth you started talking. Now shut up and let me have a go.

02:19 Alright, and Woolworths going to talk about his bills.

02:21 I just won't talk.

02:23 Please.
