We have seen neither hide nor hair of the Prime Minister. But let me tell you, Mr Deputy President: he did stop in Perth on the way home from the Olympics and visited Gerard Neesham’s Clontarf Aboriginal sports academy without telling anybody. This is why, at the Labor Party launch on Sunday, Minister Penny Wong was used in Labor’s election launch as the eastern states star. Not Kevin Rudd, not Julia Gillard—not even Chris Evans, who comes from Western Australia!
