Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source
The Leader of the Opposition may be very used to changing the rules to suit himself in the union movement and in the Labor Party, but this is what the former finance minister said in the government of which he formed a part. Penny Wong on the ABC in 2012 said, 'We don't release ten-year costings.' The Treasurer, Wayne Swan, stood at the same National Press Club and talked about 10-year projections being unreliable. He told Radio National's Fran Kelly on 20 March 2012, 'We don't do those 10-year estimates.' Mr Speaker, it's always one rule for the Labor Party and one rule for everybody else. One rule for their union mates; one rule for everybody else. You can't change the rules to suit Shifty Shorten.
