Senator Joyce, if you quieten down I will let you know. He said:
We welcome the Government’s announcement today, especially for Australia’s age pensioners who have been denied justice for too long.
He welcomed it, Senator Joyce. Then he went on to say:
But nonetheless we are not going to argue about the composition of the package or quibble about it. It has our support. It will provide a stimulus to the economy, that’s for certain.
That was the Leader of the Opposition. Today you are calling it a cash splash. This was him giving it his full support. Let me just read it again to you.
