Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Speaker, you didn't ask for the imputation of motives to be withdrawn in that question. And, given that it wasn't withdrawn, it should be completely reasonable for the Prime Minister to point out the conflicts of interest, the poor motives for somebody who has stood up and railed against action the government has taken against organised crime. And, if he's willing to stand up and make those sorts of statements and then wants to throw motives around here—you can't play with a glass jaw! If you throw that around, if comes back at you.
