Port Lincoln. That is where it is; thank you very much. And why did they change it? Because it was popular. All I am waiting for is the apology, because otherwise you are total and utter hypocrites.

It is all part of this chaos. There is not a tenet of consistency. Nobody can believe a thing you say anymore. Everything you say is absurdity backed up to absurdity—absurdity but with an austere, sincere face at the press conference. If you want real sincerity, go out in duplicate so we can have Minister Burke and Minister Ludwig standing side by side, looking doubly ridiculous as they try to convince us that everything they espoused not a year ago, not a month ago but a week ago about me is apparently now virtuous. Okay—stick to your guns!

So what are they doing? They are clearing the decks for an election. They are clearing the decks and doing it in the most bumbling, stumbling, hopeless, ridiculous way.
