Julia Gillard (Lalor, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. When a poacher turns gamekeeper then I am always interested in what they have got to say. If a poacher turned gamekeeper now has a policy he believes should be considered and is going to remain the policy of the opposition for more than 24 hours at a time, I am happy to say that we will consider it, because of course we know that what they say today they deny tomorrow and they invent again on the third day and by the fourth day and the fifth day they are on another part of the cycle. But if this is a policy that is going to last, unlike excise reductions on petrol and the like, I am happy to say we will consider it and it is with some relish that I look forward to this poacher turned gamekeeper giving us his policy.
