Joe Hockey (North Sydney, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

We have had it now for about three weeks—that is about right. The Labor Party when they were in government held Gonski for 60 days—most of it against his will—and they held the Henry report for 130 days and then did not even implement it, apart from the mining tax. So I would say, please, we go through these things in a careful, methodical manner. We consider these things very carefully and, quite frankly, if the Labor Party paid the same attention to detail that we did, perhaps they would still be in government.
