Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

This is the weakest attempted suspension of standing orders from the weakest leadership team that we have seen in this chamber for many a decade. At least the Leader of the Opposition has come out of hiding. He's actually had something to say in this chamber. The last media conference the Leader of the Opposition held was on 3 November. He's taken a vow of silence. From 3 November to 1 December he has not held a press conference—not one! But to be fair, this week he's done two media interviews. They've been tough! First was the weekly interview with Ray Hadley—he holds him to account every Thursday! And last night there was that tough interrogation from Paul Murray! This is what Paul Murray asked last night:

… you've got a potential in the next two and a half years to build policies around one word—'freedom'. Is that going to be the funnel that you try to work out what you take to the electorate in the next two and a half years?

The response:

Absolutely, it will be … It is exactly about that freedom.
