Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:09): The member for Watson is feebly defending the Leader of the Opposition, who— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on both sides! The member for Isaacs will remove the prop or he will remove himself. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr TURNBULL: As an act of kindness, I should have stopped him. Opposition members interjecting— Mr TURNBULL: The Treasurer is a compassionate man, and he knew we should have stopped the member for Watson from going down this line. Yesterday, a photograph was produced of a street scene in Sydney with me and many other people, including Mr Huang. I think it was a Chinese New Year function. Thousands of people were there. And guess who else was there? The Leader of the Opposition! Fair enough. I make no criticism of him being there. Half of Sydney was there. But what I do criticise the Leader of the Opposition for is this: he has belittled and betrayed Australia by leaving Senator Dastyari in the Senate. I'll tell you this: Senator Dastyari sold out Australia. The Labor Party have made themselves the subject of contempt everywhere, and nowhere more so than in China. Mr Danby interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Melbourne Ports! Mr TURNBULL: Can you imagine how the Chinese government would look at this alternative Prime Minister? Mr Danby interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Melbourne Ports is warned! Mr TURNBULL: They'd say, 'This guy was prepared to allow one of his front bench to switch on a matter of national security in return for $1,600!' I'll tell you what: Senator Dastyari's integrity, and the Labor Party's foreign policy, was pretty cheap; it was pretty easy to acquire—and that is exactly what happened. Labor will be held in contempt. China respects strength. They respect honesty. They expect the Australian government to stand up for Australia's interests and to be frank and honest. And when we differ they expect us to do so honestly, not sell out Australia for a few thousand dollars. Mr Danby interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Melbourne Ports has been warned! Mr TURNBULL: And then Labor tried to suggest that this is all Senator Dastyari's own errors of judgement. 'Oh dear, Senator Dastyari won't get any more chances other than the three or four he's had already,' says the Leader of the Opposition. And what do they do? Nothing. Zero. Senator Dastyari has sold Australia's security interests out. And this man who wants to be Prime Minister of Australia will not move. I'll you why: it's because Senator Dastyari put the Leader of the Opposition in his job, and he's worried that, without him, he won't— (Time expired)
