Here we have the man sharpening his knives. There is one person who pays a visit to Shortie's house every week, and that is the knife sharpener. He comes around for 20 bucks a knife, and he sharpens them up for old Billy, because Billy and his mate Paul Howes are just waiting for the moment. They are waiting for the moment, just as they did with Prime Minister Rudd. When he was not looking, along came the knives. So too it comes again. Once an animal has blood on his teeth, he will have the blood again. It is easy to kill twice; it is hard to kill once. But the Assistant Treasurer has done it, and the Australian people know it.
