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

What we've had during this question time, incredibly, is that those opposite have sat in their tactics committee and said I know what we would do, we will ask questions about Kevin Rudd and we'll ask questions about the Indigenous Australians who supported a 'yes' campaign in the referendum—and who are disappointed that the referendum didn't get up—having opposed it and having spent months asking questions in here, some of which they knew were, quite frankly, absurd, about the Reserve Bank and other issues. Those opposite are now promising—depending on whether you watch the Sunrise or Today, depending on whether you tune into Channel 7 or Channel 9—they will have a second referendum during the next term, which the Leader of the Opposition says is their policy. But, then again, this is the Leader of the Opposition, who went into their party room and decided they wanted a local, regional and national Voice, and then came out and answered something different. I am a prime minister to who sticks to my commitments and says what I will do and then does it—which is why you don't recognise it.

Honourable members interjecting—
