In relation to who will be involved in the summit—on some days those opposite say they want to see the summit cancelled. On other days they say that they demand an invitation to the jobs summit. On 11 July they said both. It reminds me of what Groucho Marx said. Groucho Marx said he didn't want to be part of an organisation that would have him as a member. The member for Hume doesn't want to be part of a jobs summit that would have him as an attendee. That seems to be the member for Hume's position. Bringing an end this decade of division and dysfunction, conflict and complacency is what the summit is all about and that's what the government's all about as well.
