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

He was so lacking in interest about saving Australian jobs that he slept through the critical piece of legislation to get the money into the economy to save their jobs. The only time the Leader of the Opposition has ever shown the slightest interest in the fortunes of working people was when he thought it would be in his political interest. This is so transparent it is painful. This is a man who has never cared about job security—a man who advocated workers getting dismissed unfairly, a man who cared so little about their jobs that he slept through the divisions to support their jobs during the global financial crisis, a man who never cared at all about working people—now trying to pretend he is the battler's friend. Give me a break.
