Okay, I want to make a confession—just between us here.

An honourable member: No, don't!

I kind-of like Emmo.

Government members interjecting—

I know, I know, I kind-of like him because he reminds me of that character—I don't know if you remember during the Iraq war: Baghdad Bob or Comical Ali. Everything is on fire, but find him and he says, 'Everything's okay here in Baghdad! It's all under control; move on—there's nothing happening here!' And every time he pops up on Sky News there he is saying, 'The government's during a great job; it's there fighting for the workers'—and out there, the workers are telling us a very different story. They are not happy.
