Kim Beazley (Brand, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and it goes to the basis of his abusive answers in this place which he persistently delivers. I refer the minister to previous statements on Iraq in this place and his arrogant and extreme remarks on his government’s decision to take Australia to war. Aren’t the minister’s remarks all about compensating for his guilty conscience on Iraq: guilty of taking Australia to the wrong war, guilty of making Australians a bigger target for terrorists, guilty of constantly shifting the goalposts on our troops and guilty of turning a blind eye while Australian money bought bullets fired on our troops?
