Patrick Gorman (Perth, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Hansard source

I want to talk about a jumper that was very dear to my heart. It was a jumper that I'd had for many years. I wore it the first time I flew to Canberra as the federal member for Perth. But it had started to unravel. It had holes everywhere. It was good-quality Australian wool, I should say, but it had started to unravel. I wore it out to lunch as I holidayed at home this year with my wife in Yallingup. We went out to a winery, and she was very disappointed I had worn this jumper that really just wasn't up to the task anymore. So, firstly, I'll apologise to Jess for wearing it. But Jess was right. She made me throw it out. While I miss it, she was right. When something starts to unravel, you should throw it out.

That brings me to what I want to talk about tonight, which is this government. It has truly started to unravel.
