Michael Sukkar (Deakin, Liberal Party, Assistant Minister to the Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

What an arrogant contribution by the shadow Treasurer, on leadership. Do we want to see the same leadership that this failed former immigration minister showed when looking after the borders of this country? Is that the sort of leadership we want out of you? Is the sort of leadership that you are talking about the leadership that you subjected this country to when we had an $18 billion black hole for the very short and lamentable period that you were on the treasury bench as Treasurer? Is that the sort of leadership we want? Is the sort of leadership we want you failing to fight the hard Left of your party who have a vision for this country of higher taxes and strangling aspiration?

The shadow Treasurer talks a lot about John Howard. John Howard has a lot to say about you, I can assure you, and none of it is very kind. So don't refer to John Howard at this despatch box.
