Unreservedly. As I was saying, the Australian people understand that we have a mess to clean up. It is more likely that the Australian people would phone their local Jim's Cleaning service to clean up this mess than ask the Labor Party to do it. I actually had the time during question time to check with Jim's Cleaning in Canberra. They are currently offering a no-obligation free quote for their cleaning service. Their promotional material is very interesting stuff. I would like to quote from it:

In this day and age security and trust are a vital for the consumer …

I would say that they are vital for the Australian voters as well. But the big advertising message for Jim's Cleaning right here in Canberra is very insightful:

So sit back, relax and let us do the dirty work while you spend your spare time doing the things you enjoy!

There you go! Perhaps someone from Jim's Cleaning right here in Canberra is sending a new political strategy to the Australian Labor Party:

So sit back, relax and let us do the dirty work while you spend your spare time doing the things you enjoy!

Now what would that be? What do those members opposite like doing? I don't know. Stacking branches, perhaps? I don't know. Plotting against their leader? Wasting taxpayers' money running false scare campaigns, opposing every new thing that this government puts forward?
