QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:01): We are a government that works through a proper cabinet process and that has a Treasurer who I'm very proud of. He's a Treasurer who is promoting reform in the economy, including making sure that we don't create a society where we have our generation able to own their own home and younger generations not able to own their own home.

The way that my government functions is orderly, with proper process, proper cabinet government—something that those opposite would not recognise. We have the shadow opposition leader out there saying on RN Breakfast, 'Clearly there's a need for us to change,' and saying on News24, 'The Liberal Party is in a low ebb.' Mr ALBANESE: Thanks, Mr Speaker. I'll tell you what's humiliating.

It's having someone behind the Leader of the Opposition stalk him and someone outside the parliament stalking him as well. This is what Josh Frydenberg had to say: If our vote recedes further … I cannot see the party surviving in its current form. An existential crisis.

You don't have to listen to people outside; you can listen to the Leader of the Opposition—for the moment—himself. On Saturday he went along to CPAC, which would be the equivalent of a Labor Party leader going to a Socialist Alliance rally. He went along there to this far-right gathering in Brisbane, and he said that the government he was a senior minister in spent too much money during COVID and allowed in too many temporary migrants.

He said they should never have done net zero, and he said that they were never a party of the centre right, they were just a right-wing party. Well, you bet they are—in this race to the bottom. If people have a choice between One Nation or fake One Nation, they'll vote for the real thing, and this guy is a fake.

Mr ALBANESE: I'll withdraw it, and I ask the member to withdraw his return serve.
