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

I do not come into this House to play pop quizzes; I come in here to argue very serious policy and we are seeing none from the other side of the House. We had a Leader of the Opposition who could not talk about jobs in his budget reply, and the same for the shadow Treasurer. Both of them failed to talk about the floods and their impact on the Australian economy, nor did they address the consequences of having our terms of trade at 140-year highs. What we have got is a group of people who are absolutely unqualified to put forward an alternative economic policy for this country and it is on display for everybody to see.
