The answer is no. I again would say that the opposition do have the opportunity in question time to question the government of the day about our policies and our approach. I think it says something about the complete vacuum that is the coalition's policies for the future, the complete vacuum of any substantive ideas about how to meet the challenges of today for tomorrow, and the complete absence of any real plans to deliver outcomes for Australians. They continue to focus in this question time, when they ask questions of government ministers, not on any policy issue and not on any issue that is of relevance to the economic wellbeing or the personal and social wellbeing of the people who elect us and put us here but on personal and political issues with their usual relentless negative frame.
