As Minister Albanese has shown, the hypocrisy knows no bounds, because while they have been putting their hands out for funding under the community infrastructure program, they have also been putting their hands out for funding under the Jobs Fund. The member for Canning, Don Randall, voted against the Jobs Fund, asking for a handout. David Hawker, the member for Wannon—exactly the same—asking for funding. Again, it was the member for Wannon. But we move on to Andrew Robb, the future Liberal leader, asking for a handout under the stimulus package. Yes, you may laugh.
