Wayne Swan (Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

Sloppy Joe over there cannot hide his embarrassment that when the nation needed the Liberal Party to back the country they backed themselves. You can see the embarrassment on their faces here today. How do they go out and explain to the Australian community that when business needed the backing and when workers needed employing they were playing politics in the parliament. This distortion of what I have said in this House from the shadow Treasurer today is yet another example of another scare campaign to camouflage the fact that they have not got one positive idea for Australia’s future.
