Jason Falinski (Mackellar, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

I'm being incredibly relevant to disclosure, honesty and transparency in the electoral system. I know that you, Deputy Speaker, are equally concerned about these things. I know that you—you of all people, Deputy Speaker, and the member of Cooper, too—would not stand for anyone in your party taking a donation from Eddie Obeid.

I know that neither of those members of the opposition would ever imagine that they would say one thing and then do another. It would never occur to a member of the Labor Party to do that. And I know, for sure, that if the tobacco lobby came knocking on your door, Deputy Speaker, and offering you a $100,000 cheque, you would turn them away—politely I have no doubt.
