How do you support Senator McGauran on this one? The bloke rattled on you. Fair dinkum! He actually ratted on you. He used to sit in the same party room as you, he used to attend your national conferences like you did—and he is sitting over there and you want to barrack for his position! It is time the National Party actually woke up and realised what that lot are about. They are about destruction. We are your opponents; they are your enemies. We are your political opponents; they are your political enemies—they want to eat you alive. We just contest with you.

So it is time to wake up and smell the roses. Senator Barnaby Joyce has shown some very wise judgements over the last few years. He called them out for what they were.
