House debates Prime Minister

Censure Motion

Thursday, 29 May 2008 House of Representatives

Malcolm Turnbull

Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Shadow Treasurer

9:37 am

Nothing better illustrates the shamelessness of this Prime Minister than the remarks we have just endured. Here is a man who says, ‘FuelWatch is designed to take on big oil.’ Of course, while the Leader of the Opposition was focusing on what matters most, the price of petrol paid for by motorists at the bowser, what did we hear from Lord Albanese opposite? ‘Populist nonsense,’ he said. Really! He should be with the visiting Secretary of State in the UK in the House of Lords. He is wasted here in the House of Representatives. ‘Populist nonsense,’ says his lordship. Let me tell his lordship, it is not populist nonsense to talk about the price of petrol that people are paying.
