I really don't know where to start after that contribution. Here I was expecting a defence of Labor's housing policy, and instead we've had a series of ad hominem attacks against people on this side of the chamber. We've had some amateur channelling of Siegmund Freud, trying to psychoanalyse the coalition's internal dynamics.
We also had, frankly, some quite insulting things said by the minister. He suggested, firstly, that we don't seek to represent people, and I think he tried to claim some sort of moral high ground that only his side of the chamber represents working people. I remind him that it was our political party that increased homeownership under Robert Menzies. It's our political party that has delivered higher living standards.
