When you turn up to a Midnight Oil concert and you're wearing a T-shirt that says that you're in favour of 'yes' and you're in favour of treaty and you're in favour of truth-telling, do know what that says, Mr Speaker? It doesn't say, as the Prime Minister wants us to believe, that he turned up not adequately attired for a Midnight Oil concert and that somehow, in a snap moment of choice, he found himself clothed in a Midnight Oil T-shirt. It's sort of like a Deirdre Chambers moment. It does have a ring of that to it: 'How did this T-shirt find itself on my body?' That's what he's arguing, and it shows you how insincere this man is.

Prime Minister, you have the opportunity to unite the Australian people. You have the opportunity to cut through the waste that is taking place in the money that's administered to help Indigenous Australians.
