Peter Costello (Higgins, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I want to say this: what does not take any leadership in this parliament is to stand up here and oppose every change and then, when it is over, try and take credit for the result. We know this is not an economic conservative. We know this is a policy vacuum. The people of Australia will know there has not been a question today about anything that concerns them: a job, child care, the environment, interest rates. This has been an attempt to try and get through 10 questions whilst keeping off policy. There is one more before he moves his censure and we look forward to it.
