Mr PYNE (Sturt—Leader of the House and Minister for Defence Industry) (18:09): We have now seen why the member for Grayndler, not the member for Maribyrnong, should be the leader of the Labor Party. We have now seen why the member for Grayndler is the people's choice of the Labor Party membership. We have now seen why the member for Grayndler is staying in the parliament. He is staying in the parliament because he wants to be the leader of the Labor Party. We have just seen a 10-minute audition by the member for Grayndler for the leadership of the Labor Party. We know that after the last election in 2013 the member for Grayndler contested the leadership of the Labor Party against the member for Maribyrnong and won the vote. He actually won the vote of the Labor Party membership and he was done in by Senator 'Kim Il' Carr. He was done in by his own faction, by the Left. But the people wanted him and that is why I dubbed him the people's choice. He still carries a candle for the Labor Party leadership. I think a lot of people on this side of the House would think he would be a much more entertaining leader than grumpy Bill. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will refer to members by their correct titles. Mr PYNE: Indeed, Mr Speaker. Opposition members interjecting— Mr PYNE: Well, you are all here. You are all stupid enough to still be here. Good luck to you. Good on you. Stay here and listen to my speech. The member for Grayndler left out some key facts in his lovely reminiscing through the past glories when he was the Leader of the House. The SPEAKER: So the Leader of the House is coming to the amendment now? Mr PYNE: I am talking to the amendment, Mr Speaker. The SPEAKER: I have been listening to the preamble, but you are coming to the amendment? Mr PYNE: As relevantly as the member for Grayndler, who ranged very widely over my so-called history as the Leader of the House and Manager of Opposition Business and what I apparently said in the past in various speeches. I am now returning to the subject of the member for Grayndler's reminiscing—how the standing orders apparently used to be in his period of greatness. I have in my hand not a list; I have in my hand the 61 votes that the member for Grayndler lost when he was the Leader of the House in the 43rd Parliament. In fact, he lost a further 13 when they did not reach the required 76 to be passed. In fact, in that period of time he lost 74 votes on the floor of the House, where the government was outvoted by the opposition and the crossbenchers, or just the opposition. Seventy-four votes in the 43rd Parliament were lost by the member for Grayndler as the Leader of the House, so it is rewriting of the history. All the new members of the parliament who are here listening at the feet of the member for Grayndler— Mr Fletcher: It is Orwellian. Mr PYNE: He actually lost 74 votes. It is Orwellian, as the Minister for Urban Infrastructure says. If you keep repeating a lie over and over again, people will believe it. The member for Grayndler would have you believe that he never lost a vote on the floor of this parliament. He lost 74 votes on the floor of the parliament—61 outright and a further 13 that did not reach the required 76. The member for Grayndler had a little trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the period when he was the Leader of the House. It reminded me very much of Pa Kettle. Pa Kettle used to stand on his veranda and ruminate. Do you have a point of order, member for Indi? The SPEAKER: The member for Indi on a point of order? Ms McGowan: Mr Speaker, actually I would like to move: That the question be now put. The SPEAKER: The question is that the question be now put. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my left will contain themselves. The question is that the question be now put.
