Chris Evans (WA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Government in the Senate) Share this | Hansard source

Clearly, today and yesterday mark a departure in tactics by the opposition. It was only two days ago that we had the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Turnbull, rebuking Mr Tuckey for his comments and allegations. In the last two days, we have had Senator Johnston alleging that people are bringing disease into the country that will destroy animal and human stock and Mr Tuckey alleging that they are all terrorists. And today we have had the opposition spokesman claiming that they are all Centrelink bludgers and that somehow they are entitled to Centrelink under us when they were not under the previous government.
