House debates Motions

Attorney-General; Attempted Censure

Wednesday, 25 February 2015 House of Representatives

Christopher Pyne

Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Leader of the House

The Leader of the Opposition ranged very widely over the debate, and we did not take that point of order. But, unlike the Maritime Union of Australia, I think we should always treat the journalists of The Australian well; so they should be recognised properly when they are in the House, rather than how Andrew Burrell was treated by the Maritime Union of Australia yesterday. But to be lectured by the Labor Party about trust and integrity is really quite laughable. If it were not so serious it would be laughable.

This is the political party of Eddie Obeid, Joe Tripodi and Ian Macdonald. This is the party that supported Craig Thomson for every step of the way, and continues to do so.
