Kevin Andrews (Menzies, Liberal Party, Minister for Social Services) Share this | Hansard source

This is the government's policy. I am reminded about the policies of the member opposite. She was up here complaining about a report before. She had no qualms about pushing 80,000 single parents off their payments—no qualms about doing that whatsoever. She had no qualms whatsoever in trying to abolish the carers bonus—no qualms about doing that whatsoever. What hypocrisy coming from the members opposite! The big difference was that, of course, at that stage we did not have a government; we had kindergarten capers. We had the Leader of the Opposition wanting to be the class captain—Julia. We had, of course, Kevin, who wanted all the attention. We had Pete playing with the pink batts. We had Bill out in the sandpit being the class bully.
