Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

At the last election, the member opposite from the Labor Party who posed this question to me was running a petition, up to the very day that they supported the government's position on changes to pensions. For years, the member opposite went around the country scaring pensioners, saying to them that the Labor Party was opposed to the changes to pensions. But what did they do at the last election? After several years, at the last moment, on the eve of the election, they slunk into the press chamber and they backed the changes, just days out from the election.
