I have noticed that there seems to be some confusion among those opposite about what they are going to do. Last week, Mr Abbott—in his usual habit—wanted to claim it was a bribe, yet on Sunday, the shadow Treasurer, Mr Hockey, dumped him completely. It is not a bribe; it is not dodgy—not at all. So we have Mr Abbott taking one position and Mr Hockey taking another in the space of three or four days. It is very simple.
