Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:49): The problem for the senator is that the way she said 'Merry Christmas' absolutely exposed her insincerity. It also shows that when she said to Mr Rudd, 'You've got my full support,' her sincerity was just as great. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order. Senator ABETZ: Then when she later said to Julia Gillard, 'Merry Christmas, you've got my support,' it was simply as insincere as her attempt to send me good wishes. Mr President, I have tried to determine the technical meaning of 'going bananas', but I am sure it has something to do with Christmas goodwill and cheer, which I genuinely do extend to the Leader of the Opposition.
