Joel Fitzgibbon Hunter, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Agriculture

I will tell you what is true: this minister has abandoned his electorate. He stood by in cabinet and allowed a new tax to be imposed on Australian motorists generally but particularly on those who live in his electorate. He has deserted his electorate, as have all those members who sit opposite: the member for Eden-Monaro, the member for Page, the member for Hume—a good defence but not good enough—the member for Capricornia, the member for Mallee and the list goes on and on. I wish I could remember Mr Ramsey's electorate.
