Tim Wilson (Goldstein, Liberal Party, Shadow Treasurer) | Hansard source

I have considered the comment, and I'll proceed, because, at the end of the day, we have a government that does not understand the consequences of their legislation or their legislative agenda. I have to say to the Prime Minister—as I said, he sees every piece of legislation through the lens of politics—can he please not do that for once? It will go against every fibre of his being and his character. I'm waiting to see the amendments, and, if he returns to his old games, we will of course exercise our rights too.

Success looks very different. Success is in the final quarter where there's six points in it. Hopefully the Dees are flogging Collingwood, and hopefully it's the flag this year! But the children of our nation are thinking about the tackle not the odds, not because the government is wrapping people in cotton wool, but because a child is free to love sport for the contest on the field, and I support that proposition. My hope is that we get the balance right. Australians expect us to get it right, and that is reform worth getting right.
