It's disgusting to think that those opposite said to the veterans of Australia that they weren't of a political advantage. These are not my words; these are the words of Scott Morrison when he was here and forced their own Minister for Veterans' Affairs to quit and quit the party. So please don't lecture us on this sort of stuff, because you have absolutely no credibility over there.

It's amazing that they sit there and talk about these things. It's like talking about Rex Airlines. How many regional workers lost their jobs at Virgin during COVID because those opposite made a decision to fund their mates at Rex Airlines, to look after them instead of Virgin? Virgin went into administration because they couldn't get support from the Morrison— was it you or Joyce, your other mate?
