No, Mr Deputy Speaker—certainly not. What gall from those down the front! They have done everything they can to constrain a newly elected government from implementing a strategy that was given approval by the Australian people. They stood by the carbon tax to the bitter end. What gall from a political party that left an economic trail of destruction. When she was health minister, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition presided over a health system that was in absolute chaos. If you are wondering where the Minister for Health is, he is out there cleaning up your mess. He is out there trying to find the superclinics that have never appeared. He is out there trying to fix the absolute mess you left. All you did was put backroom public servants into a job and collect the union fees. You are a failed health minister.
