I was responding to the request to talk about transparency and accountability. Isn't it interesting all of a sudden, now he's on the other side of the table? He was happy to protect Senator McKenzie. He's happy not to condemn the former Prime Minister. He's happy to defend Mr Taylor hiding a price increase in electricity before the election. All of those things he's happy to do, but now he cares about Senate estimates.

Last night Senator Gallagher was again there, answering Senator Hume's questions. There was an air of great repetition about them, but we're very happy to keep answering the same questions over and over again.
