House debates Statements by Members
Liberal Party Leadership
Jenny Macklin Jagajaga, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Disability and Carers (House)
1:58 pm
I've said it before and, unfortunately, I have to say it again: who is the Prime Minister? Is it the member for Warringah, who sits up the back, directing all the policy, or is it his new friend up the back, the member for Dickson? The member for Dickson is up the back now, counting his numbers!

or is it the member for Wentworth—
Tony Smith Speaker
Member for Jagajaga, can I just remind you: your microphone's working perfectly well! You may proceed.
Jenny Macklin Jagajaga, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Disability and Carers (House)
Or is that the member for Wentworth, the dead man walking? The dead man walking's still sitting down the front there, but he doesn't have the numbers, and the member for Dickson is going to be counting every day till he knocks him off. We had the most extraordinary extra gem from the Liberal Party room this morning: that the member for Flinders is part of the dream team! So they want to have the worst health minister as Prime Minister, and, as the deputy, the second health minister who's delivered the worst results for Australia! What a shambles! And the Australian people are paying the price. (Time expired)
