Mr Tony Burke (Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House) Share this | Hansard source

In A Christmas Carol they should watch out for the ghosts of Christmas past, because we had two of them today. We had the ghost of Christmas past with their former prime minister referring to Liberals today as having 'insane conversations about energy'. He said:

… energy policy should be determined by engineering and economics, not ideology and idiocy.

The other ghost of Christmas past was the member for New England, who was the deputy to Malcolm Turnbull and decided to declare today that he will refuse to join any political party that will have him as a leader.
