That’s right; no class reunion at Nambour. That is it. You would need to have it in the convention centre with Swannie at one end and Ruddie at the other, because you would not want to have them in a room that is any smaller than Parliament House, would you?

But I say to you, Mr Deputy Speaker: the coalition will not support bad policy. The coalition will not support another slug on Australian households. The coalition will not support any attempt to increase the cost of prices for Australians or any attempt to increase the pain associated with an incompetent government, and that is why the coalition will not support yet another bad Labor tax.
