Mr RUDD (Griffith—Prime Minister) (14:07): I thank the Deputy Leader of the Opposition for her question. If the Deputy Leader of the Opposition were observing the political debate in this place yesterday, she would have heard in my statement to the press gallery, prior to the ballot that was held at 7 pm yesterday, my reasons for a change in a position which I outlined clearly— Opposition members interjecting— Mr RUDD: responsibility for it. I would draw also the attention of the House to the multiple statements made by the then member for Warringah concerning the member for Wentworth when he was Leader of the Opposition. I do not think it is time for pots calling kettles black. Mr Hockey interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for North Sydney is denying the Deputy Leader of the Opposition her supplementary question.
