The Leader of the Opposition is someone who is trashing our country to help himself. That is exactly what he is doing. And it is unworthy of him, it is unworthy of the party he leads, and it is unworthy of great Labor leaders like Bob Hawke and Paul Keating—with whom this side of the parliament had many disagreements, but one thing they would never do is shirk taking the difficult but necessary decisions to give our country the fiscal foundation it enjoyed up until 2007.
