House debates Questions without Notice

Iraq

Monday, 12 February 2007 House of Representatives

Kevin Rudd

Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition

2:53 pm

My question again is to the Prime Minister. I ask whether the Prime Minister recalls stating about the Iraq war three years ago in this parliament:

The reality is that the Leader of the Opposition has allowed his tribal dislike, because of the politics of the current American President, to overwhelm his concern for the national interest.  Irrespective of who the President may be, it is never in the interests of this country to have that kind of generic criticism made.

Prime Minister, if that criticism was valid in relation to Mr Latham, why is it not also valid in relation to you?
