Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

The Deputy Leader of the Opposition intervenes as if there is some consistency in the attack being mounted by those opposite. Once again, when you look at the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, back in the Subiaco Post it is all ‘gentle Julia’; she is all for a gentle solution. But when she is running a different line it is quite the reverse. We have the small-l liberal in Wentworth, the member for Wentworth, the Leader of the Opposition, adopting a policy locally which is to the left on this issue but then adopting a posture sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, depending on the circumstances not in the national debate but within the Liberal Party. Our policy is clear and we stand by it.
