The now Leader of the Opposition fessed up and said, 'I did. It was recommended to me by the industry department and by the regulator as what they wanted. It was my department what made me do it, gov!' was his defence. This goes to the character of the now Leader of the Opposition. This goes to his character and his conduct. If the Leader of the Opposition is not prepared to trust the Australian people with information, whether it be an election review or an electricity price rise, he is not fit to be prime minister of this country.
