Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

The fact is that this is the most pathetic suspension in the history since Federation. On 21 occasions those opposite have moved to suspend standing orders. Those people who have observed this House over a long period of time will know that, if you are going to move to a censure, you have to actually build up some sense of momentum. What you cannot do is ask nine questions on nine different subjects and then move a motion that does not relate to any of the nine subjects that you have raised during question time. The Leader of the Opposition is getting the same bad tactical advice that helped to destroy the former leader.
