It was only a week ago that the opposition leader said he was not going to be talking about politics; he would be talking about people and he would be listening to Australian families and their concerns. This new non-political Leader of the Opposition was about to burst like a refreshing ray of sunshine into the House of Representatives. But that was a very short-lived hope, we have the same old political bill, the same old 'Electricity Bill', the same denial of economic reality, the same approach where Labor threatens jobs and households—
