QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WHITTEN (Western Australia) (15:10): This Labor government has clearly entered into a coalition in substance with the Greens. All of the deals are being done behind closed doors—deals that are trading a tax cut equivalent to a cup of coffee a week for government ownership interests of up to 47 per cent of people's businesses. This Labor government is losing its base because it has abandoned them for the insane Greens party agenda.

Will the Labor Party recommit now to its pre-election promise and stop making deals with the dirty Greens?
