This government aren't serious about integrity. If they were serious about integrity, they would apply a bit to their own frontbench. We wouldn't have this situation where we're in here debating laws about ensuring integrity and over there they're defending the indefensible—the chamber wrapped up, doing no work, as they defend the indefensible.

If they were serious about integrity, they would have done things about Minister Dutton's au pair affair. Remember that? They would have done things about the Gold Coast shopping for apartments affair. They would have done things about the $38,000 internet bill affair. They would most definitely have done something about a Prime Minister picking up the phone to a police commissioner to find out what's going on with one of his ministers under investigation. If they cared about integrity, they would be applying integrity standards to themselves. But they don't care about it. They only care about ensuring integrity against their political opponents.
