Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:48): This must be the day for feigned indignation in the chamber. We had Senator Ronaldson earlier today— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: and we have Senator Birmingham now waxing indignant as a member of a party that spent $254 million in its last year in government on public advertising and $121-plus million advertising laws which were about ensuring Australians were easier to sack. So do not come in here, Senator Birmingham, lecturing us about public moneys. This is an important public policy issue, an issue which will affect Australians, and people are entitled to understand what this policy is. They certainly are entitled to that in the face of the irresponsible scaremongering that moderates like you, who used to believe in climate change and a price on carbon, ought be ashamed of. The reality is that Australians are entitled to have the record set straight. (Time expired)
