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

I have just indicated to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition that the matter she is raising is not new. It has been canvassed in the West Australian newspaper. I suggest that she go and have a look at the West Australian newspaper. More generally, how many calls does the Deputy Leader of the Opposition get where this sort of thing is just handed over? How come Michael Smith has her number, anyway? Does John Pasquarelli have her number? Does Pauline Hanson have her number? This absurdity from the Deputy Leader of the Opposition is embarrassing to her and it is embarrassing to the Leader of the Opposition.
