Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Dennis Shanahan picked it. He broadcast it this morning. He told us that the Liberals had decided that Wednesday was going to be 'economy day'. They've gone two days without asking a single question on the economy or cost of living. We've had the clown who's the shadow Treasurer singing at the dispatch box, which is a human rights issue for all those who had to listen to it. But the deputy leader was out there this morning—that is, the deputy leader in this House not in the other House, because in the other House the deputy leader isn't even on their tactics committee and not in the leadership group though she's the deputy leader of the Liberal Party. The member for Canning tried to resist the Shanahan push this morning. He said, 'Just because commentators like Dennis Shanahan don't like our question time strategy doesn't mean it's wrong.'
