Eric Abetz (Tasmania, Liberal Party, Minister for Employment) Share this | Hansard source

While Mr Abbott was leader of the Liberal Party I do understand that a very sour, bitter character assassination took place, and that was by Kevin Rudd of Julia Gillard, and then by Julia Gillard of Kevin Rudd. If the honourable senator is referring to that sour, bitter character assassination while Mr Abbott was Leader of the Liberal Party, chances are she is right. As the Australian people recognise, it is important when there is a change of leader to get on with the business of governing, on delivering on the China free trade agreement. What the Australian people want to know today is where does Senator Wong stand on the China free trade agreement? Will the Labor Party be supporting the China free trade agreement or will they be pursuing the xenophobic policies of the most corrupt union that this country has, namely the CFMEU? (Time expired)
