Christopher Pyne (Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

He actually lost 74 votes. It is Orwellian, as the Minister for Urban Infrastructure says. If you keep repeating a lie over and over again, people will believe it. The member for Grayndler would have you believe that he never lost a vote on the floor of this parliament. He lost 74 votes on the floor of the parliament—61 outright and a further 13 that did not reach the required 76. The member for Grayndler had a little trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the period when he was the Leader of the House. It reminded me very much of Pa Kettle. Pa Kettle used to stand on his veranda and ruminate. Do you have a point of order, member for Indi?
