Jim Chalmers (Rankin, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

What an extraordinary display! The fact that the Assistant Treasurer could not come in and defend her own mess leaves the assistant minister in this awful position where he has to say that his main criticism of what I have just said is that there are communists everywhere! Everywhere you look—under the dispatch box, under the desk—there are communists! That is what explains the economic omnishambles that exists on that side of House—that there are communists everywhere. What a complete joke this government is when it comes to economic policy!
