Let me say to you again, very slowly: the Prime Minister has full confidence in the member for Chisholm. And you know what? The Labor Party think that they can run any smear and that is somehow going to reverse the democratic result at the last election in the seat of Chisholm and elsewhere. That is what this is all about. You're going through your seven stages of grief. You're not accepting the verdict of the Australian people. You're trying to smear a great Australian who has come here as a migrant and has worked very hard and who has been endorsed by the people of Chisholm at the last election.
