They were not all National Party emails. There were many people who were saying, ‘I’ve been a Labor voter all my life. I have only voted once for the Liberal Party and all my life I have voted Labor and I am never going to do it again.

At least Senator Williams has been in a hot shearing shed, bent in half shearing 200 sheep for $250.
