Darren Chester (Gippsland, National Party, Shadow Minister for Veterans’ Affairs) | Hansard source

It's now official. Our country is being run by a jellyfish caucus. The modern Labor Party has become a blubbering mess and is a political party which has simply lost its spine. Jellyfish are defined by their lack of brains, their lack of bones and their lack of heart. They are spineless and they are gutless, without the brains to think for themselves, drifting along on the ocean currents. Now, does that sound familiar? We have a jellyfish caucus drifting along the opinion polls, focus groups and the will of an untrustworthy prime minister. They don't even have the guts to be upfront with the Australian people.

Today the Labor Party guillotined debate on its budget of broken promises after only 24 members of the jellyfish caucus actually spoke on the second reading of the bill.
