My question is to the Prime Minister. Why is the Prime Minister 'appalled and shocked' at the behaviour of a government employee who spent $20,000 of taxpayers' money on Cartier watches when the Prime Minister himself and the ministers sitting behind him have repeatedly shown they draw no distinction between taxpayers' interests and their own political and private interests when spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars?

I just reject the assertion that has been made by the Leader of the Opposition. It is a desperate tactic from a very desperate man who has lost the confidence of those who sit behind him. He comes in here and seeks to throw mud as some way of saving himself.
