since this report was released—totally and utterly silent. Unlike the member for Grayndler, who puts out a press release when he turns up to parliament, the member for Ballarat has not said a word. She has not apologised, she has not explained herself, and she should. And if this Leader of the Opposition had any heart he would tell her to apologise. He would tell her to explain. He would tell her to tell the Australian people why it was that the former government, under the Prime Minister he used to support, Julia Gillard, did this to Australian taxpayers' money. It was a rort, it is a shame, and you should be disgusted with your own former minister's behaviour. She should apologise.
