Eric Abetz (Tasmania, Liberal Party, Minister for Employment) Share this | Hansard source

As is the want, unfortunately, of a number of people on that side of the chamber, Senator McKim has only quoted part of that which was in the public statement that I issued. If Senator McKim had read the full extent of it into the Hansard record, he would not have made those unfortunate personal reflections, which he is a master of doing. I know that the Greens like to hand it out to everybody else and then squeal when anybody ever says anything about their motives. I simply say that I made a full statement in relation to this matter and I have nothing further to add.
