Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) Share this | Hansard source

I want to say thank you very much to the member for Moore for his question and for the hard work that he does in his Western Australian seat. He's a great member of this parliament and we acknowledge that today. He's a person of great character. Look across the benches here. This side of the parliament is full of people with great character. I'll tell you a person who has questionable character in this place. He's sitting right there. The Australian public have got him pegged, as does the member for Grayndler, who's in The Australian newspaper again today—the people's choice. Remember the people's choice? Former Labor senator John Black pointed it out last weekend. He's got the number of the Leader of the Opposition. He knows, like every Australian does, as every member of this side of the parliament knows, that the Leader of the Opposition does not have the character, does not have the strength or the integrity, to be the leader of this nation.
