Just to show how out of touch the Liberal Party is I will read what Mr Keenan, the shadow minister, said this morning when he was on Sky News. Kieran Gilbert said to him:

I suppose people would want to know though in this time of economic uncertainty would the coalition’s safety net include, for example, a guarantee on redundancy pay. Would you provide a guarantee for that?

Mr Keenan said:

Look, I think people absolutely have a right to know the sorts of things that we will be proposing, but we will release our policy in the leadup to the next election.

Mr Gilbert said:

So you can’t guarantee something like redundancy …
