Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

How is it fair to have a Leader of the Opposition who again and again reverses his position for pure political advantage? He cannot maintain one principle for a moment. He lectures us about fairness. What about the fairness for the workers he represented when he ran the AWU? What about the penalty rates he traded away at Cleanevent? What about the businesses whose taxes he threatens to put up? What about that? What about the people to whom he held himself out as believing in lower business taxes? He now reverses that position. What about the parents of disabled children? He told them he cared and he pledged his compassion and his commitment, but now he will not support the full funding of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
