The member for Robertson just spent four of his five minutes talking about the opposition. It's not hard to understand why, because there's not much that is positive to talk about, though in the one minute he did start talking about the government and its policies he talked about energy bill relief, without any hint of irony as well. There he was, high-fiving and celebrating a $300 subsidy—the gall.

The government promised $275 of bill relief. Prices in my electorate have gone up by up to $1,000, yet there you are smiling and being smarmy. You're celebrating a $300 subsidy when prices are up by $1,000. In what world do you think that's positive? There you are high-fiving and celebrating tax cuts when the average Australian cannot make ends meet.
