Kelvin Thomson (Wills, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Public Accountability and Human Services) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Human Services. I refer the minister to his unequivocal support for the Medibank Private sale five minutes before the Prime Minister deferred it; I refer him to his unequivocal support for the Snowy Hydro scheme sale five minutes before the Prime Minister dumped that; and I refer him to his claim yesterday that there is no skills shortage in Australia—again, five minutes before the Prime Minister announced the funding package in an attempt to repair a decade of neglect. Why can’t the minister keep up with the government’s backflips?
