Mr Speaker, is it any wonder that the acting Manager of Opposition Business is jumping up so much, because I understand around the corridors he is whispering of leadership aspirations still. In fact on 16 June—I think Tony likes this bit—the member said as follows:

INTERVIEWER: And do you still have leadership aspirations down the track?

TONY ABBOTT: Oh, down the track but a long, long way down the track.

That is what I call a definitive response in politics.
