Yes: those opposite. The most recent example of this was Kristina Keneally criticising the hardworking staff of the Medicare office in Bennelong. Our Medicare staff do a great job. Perhaps those opposite don't really care about that, but they actually work very, very hard, and Australians rely on them.

I would call on Kristina Keneally to apologise to the staff at the Medicare office in Top Ryde. She lied about their work and she lied about waiting times just to get a cheap headline in the local press. This is another demonstration of her lack of judgement. She was not fit to be the Premier of New South Wales. She was put in there by Obeid and Tripodi, and she exercised very bad judgement as the Premier when Sam Dastyari was appointed Secretary-General of the ALP. She is an opportunist and is not fit to be the member for Bennelong. (Time expired)
