You should listen because you might learn something. Your deceit knows no bounds. Your desperation knows no bounds. The reality is that this copayment arrangement—you may not like it; but the reality is that it is needed—does not start until 1 July 2015. So stop—

Opposition members interjecting—

You should stop, and your colleagues should stop, running around your electorates, running around my electorates, telling the vulnerable in our community that it started on budget night. What bunkum!

Opposition members interjecting—

You are saying it. The Labor Party is saying that. That is what you are doing; insidious and untrue messaging to the people of our electorates. It is not true and it is time you stopped the deceit. Labor should stop telling pensioners that their pensions will be cut, because it is not true. I will be back tomorrow to tell you exactly why not.
