Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the honourable member for his question. This is either the fourth or fifth question in question time, and not a single question on policy. I say to those opposite that once again we see on parade the old politics whereby we scream at each other, we do not work with each other, we try and scare people rather than make them think, and then on top of that we engage in politics which divides ordinary Australians rather than unites them.

The honourable member will be fully aware that the nation faces large challenges for the future. I find it remarkable that the honourable member should be so nervous about the Leader of the Opposition's prospects for the next election.
