I was talking about Senator Wong. From time to time, a minister ought to come in and speak on this issue—and there is no issue more important than this issue today. I am very much reminded of the great political dictum, still so true today, put down by the former Premier of Queensland, Wayne Goss. He was talking about Paul Keating and the arrogance of office. He said: ‘The Australian people do not forget. They sit on their verandas with their baseball bats just waiting for the next election to come along.’ That dictum applies to those on the other side—because you have allowed your ministers, you have allowed your leaders and you have allowed your cabinet to ride roughshod over you.

Senator Cameron is following me. He is someone who does speak up. I am always looking for Senator Cameron’s comments and clippings. I cut them out and I carry them with me. I loved his zombie comments.
