In the very short period of time left in this matter of public importance, following that contribution that amazingly was worse than the Assistant Treasurer's, let me say it has been another bad day for the Treasurer. He had a bad question time, but he has had a bad MPI from those opposite. You would not have thought that the Treasurer would have a bad MPI from those opposite. But let the record of the House show that the Assistant Treasurer declared Wayne Swan, the Treasurer, to be a great Treasurer. This is a bad sign for the Treasurer. He used to say Kevin Rudd was a great Prime Minister, but only in the days and weeks before he completely ratted on him.

Debate interrupted.
