Nothing, in my experience, stops leaking against a shadow Treasurer like going to a caucus meeting and begging your colleagues to stop leaking and then leaking about it. It's deadly effective! Now, I know that Mr Taylor has his problems and I know that he has his weaknesses, and it's just unfortunate that he's compounded yesterday's leaking catastrophe with today's brain snap. No wonder his colleagues are calling out his misjudgement, because today in the House of Representatives you've got Liberals and Nationals voting against tax cuts, and I'm told that this evening the same characters over there will be in here voting against tax cuts too. What a goose!
