Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Finance and Deregulation) Share this | Hansard source

When it comes to alternative policies and alternative approaches to assisting working families and working Australians, let me tell you: on that side of the chamber there are none. I rarely agree with Mr Ciobo, but I notice it was reported today that Mr Ciobo said that the opposition did only half the job when it defined itself by what it was opposed to. There are a lot of half men and women on that side of the chamber. They are half the men and half the women they ought to be. These are the people who pretend to be an alternative government, and all they can do is wreck, block and oppose. They have no alternative policies—no policies around opportunities and fairness; just opposition. (Time expired)
