That was 12 October. Ten days later, on 22 October, the Leader of the Opposition said this on the 7.30 Report:

But let me say this: the policy that was announced on the 12th of October was a failure …

Ten days, two completely different positions. What about the size of the Economic Security Strategy? On 14 October he said:

… we’re not arguing about the size of the stimulus. We support these measures …

One day later in question time he asked:

Precisely when and by whom was the government advised that the fiscal stimulus package had to be more than $10 billion?

They do not know what they are doing. They have an appalling economic record. They failed on key areas of investment in the economy. They have different positions on the key economic questions of the day, and they stand condemned for their poor performance.
