They like to gibber and laugh on the other side there. But I tell you what we will not do: we will not behave like those on the other side do. We will not come up with false policies and raise false hopes. We certainly will not go and sit down in Canberra with a woman and say, as Mr Rudd said, ‘If you accept my policy then you will actually get $50 a month off the rent.’ The woman said: ‘That sounds like a pretty good deal. If I accept his policy and vote for Rudd then I will get $50 a month off the rent.’ Great stuff: the camera is clicking and Rudd walks.
