Hon Dr NICK SMITH: —the participation of the public. Mr O'Connor, you are doing exactly the opposite of what you pledged you would do at the last election. But then there's an equally important principle about democracy, and it is this—and I ask members opposite to reflect—democracy is where you defend the right of people to express opinions with which you disagree, right? Now, members opposite say, "Oh, just giving people one day for submissions, having dozens of people that wanted to appear before the select committee, we don't care that we didn't hear them, because we disagreed with them." That is not the heart on which our democracy should be based.
