I thank the member for Cunningham for her contribution to this MPI discussion. I want to start by apologising to her. It is not our intention to be too critical of the Labor Party. We don't want to get them offside. We certainly want them to understand how we're trying to make Australia better. Indeed, I will personally speak to the frontbench to make sure that they stop taking cheap shots and start buying the more expensive shots that they can aim at the Labor Party.

This is the MPI that you get when you have outsourced your MPIs to focus groups for six years and you can't afford to have a focus group now. I know of the bottom drawer in the desk that this MPI has come out of. This is real touching-the-void stuff. The Labor Party has finally proven today that there is a difference between being watchable and being illuminating. This little ray is pitch-black.
