I'm not going to be lectured on integrity by the Labor Party—the party of Sam Dastyari, the party of Craig Thomson, the party of Eddie Obeid, the party of Ian Macdonald, the party of Joe Tripodi, the party of WA Inc. This is the only political party in Australia that can open up branches in prisons, because they've got enough people in them from being convicted of corrupt conduct, which has sent them to prison. This is a Labor Party that know all about muck because they live their lives in it. That's the Labor Party that Australians have got to know over the last few decades and more—whether it was Rex Jackson all those years ago, going all the way through to Eddie Obeid.

Mr Burke interjecting—

And I hear the guffaws of the member for Watson. We always remember the 'bend the knee' ski trip you had down at Eddie Obeid's place. We remember you going there, going: 'I just went there. We didn't really know. We're not that close. I just went down there to spend a bit of time at Eddie's place.' The Labor Party when it comes to integrity? Give me a break!
