Since the royal commission, the member for Gippsland has been party to the bipartisanship of these generational reforms that we're seeking to implement, but now, wracked with the desperation of facing their own political senescence, they are crab-walking away from this bipartisan reform program.

I'm thankful for small things, and at least at least the member for Gippsland has recently—but very recently—found some sort of part-time moral courage when he comes to this chamber on these important matters. But I stress how recent it is and how very part time it is.
