I rise to respond very briefly, in the short time that I have, to Senator McGauran, the former National Party senator. This is a man who used to be known as the Collins Street Cocky, the bloke who was the National Party senator from the middle of Melbourne who then decided that he would rat on his party and join the Liberal Party. He is now giving political advice to the opposition! I could actually cope with that. But what he is doing is questioning the right of the opposition to ensure that this government is accountable for the Prime Minister’s extraordinary abuse of a taxpayer funded official residence for a Liberal Party fundraiser.
