I noticed this morning at the doors, when the Leader of the Opposition walked out to speak to the media, he said—and I quote from the transcript headed: ‘Malcolm Turnbull: Transcript, Parliament House Canberra 28 October’:

He unpicked the border protection policies of the previous government …

The journalist then went on to ask him a couple of questions, and I will refer to a couple in passing. A journalist asked:

Malcolm Turnbull said:

This is the question you should ask Mr Rudd.
