I was raising the question of the craven and weak attitudes of the Liberal Party. On the one hand they say that this government spends too much. That is the position of the Liberal Party leadership. But, of course, here a divided and reckless opposition now says that we are not spending enough. Which is it? Do we spend too much or not enough? What is the position of the Liberal Party? Where do you stand? Do you back your leader or do you back this sort of reckless attitude that we are hearing here? We have just introduced the largest innovation package in the history of this Commonwealth. What is your position? Where are you going? Do you support that measure? Do you take the view that we are spending too much or is it too little? Can you make up your minds?
