Simon Birmingham (SA, Liberal Party, Minister for Trade) Share this | Hansard source

I suggest that Senator Watt might wish to go and have a close look at the Hansard of my earlier answers. I said that I had been briefed in relation to these matters, and I have so that I can provide the information to the Senate, which, as I have pointed out again and again, is based on the statements Mr Taylor has made and based on, obviously, his discussions in his office, in terms of the background of these matters.

The Labor Party have spent pretty much all of this question time engaged in a smear exercise. Can anybody in this place remember a single policy question they have asked during this question time? No! Can anybody in this chamber think of a single question they have asked that relates to issues affecting the lives of everyday Australians? No, not one! Have they asked a single question relating to the creation of another job for an Australian? Not one at all! It is because they have no care in anything but political muckraking. (Time expired)
