I am reminded of what the former secretary of the Australian Workers Union, Paul Howes, said: 'When you hear those opposite starting to talk Work Choices, you know they are desperate.' You know they have no feathers to fly with. You know that there is no substance to their arguments in any way, shape or form. Just because Senator Cameron asks a silly, stupid, dumb question in this place does not mean that my response is tricky. What it means is that, yet again, Senator Cameron has not done his homework, has not done his research, has fallen flat on his face, and his only response is to accuse me of being tricky. He then breaks the glass and hauls out Work Choices. Everybody knows that Work Choices is dead, buried and cremated— (Time expired)
