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

As one of my colleagues called out: it's a good question. It is a good question, because it's very important to be consistent in your approach to national security issues. On this side of the House we've always sought to do so. On many occasions the Labor Party has sought to mirror that consistent approach. So it surprised many across the political landscape when the Leader of the Opposition rehabilitated Senator Dastyari so quickly after he resigned for the first time over the issues to do with national security. I call him Senator Dastyari; some have been rude enough to call him 'Szechuan Sam', which I think is very wrong.
