Madam Speaker, the senator's contact information is widely available on websites. The member is simply trying to distract. I want to tell the member what intimidation looks like. Intimidation is when a single mother opens the fridge in the morning and there is nothing there. She looks over at the empty lunch bag that she needs to fill for her children and there is nothing to put in it. Intimidation is when, at the end of the month, she looks at the bills that have stacked up, then at her bank account and the former is way bigger than the latter. She does not know where she is going to live the next month. That is the real intimidation that the government has imposed on working-class people right across this country. If he wants to talk about threats, it is the threat to the quality of life of the people who do the work in this country that I am most worried about.
