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

In conclusion can I say the poor old taxpayer has had enough. Let me renew the offer I made earlier this year to the Leader of the Opposition. I know that he will want these for his next election campaign. We are prepared to shift all 34,000 of them to the Liberal Party secretariat free of charge. Just give me the word and there they will be for you. No more taxpayers’ money will be spent on these mouse pads. If you want them, Tony, there they will be. Just let us know.
