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

I think that we all know what alternative he's talking about. The member for Grayndler has been having quite a run in the park, as they say, in the last few months, whether he's opposing the Leader of the Opposition's position on statues being ripped up and removed and put in the bin, but he took the more sensible view. TheDaily Telegraph agreed with him—not this Leader of the Opposition. He opposed Labor's bungled penalty rates ad. Do you remember that, the so-called racist ad? He supported expelling John Setka from the Labor Party. The Leader of the Opposition stood by John Setka. He said that Labor should embrace the budget because it contained Labor measures they would have done if they were in government. He produced his citizenship documents over two weeks ago. We had to wait until last night for the Leader of the Opposition to produce his, and now he's opposing the Leader of the Opposition's politics of confrontation at all costs. As he said in his manifesto today:

Australia also has its self-styled outsiders who seek to capitalise on public disenchantment …

Bill, he's having a go at you in that manifesto. (Time expired)
