It's funny that the Labor Party should interject, because they cut money from ASIO. On 19 occasions when we've introduced legislation to support ASIO and the Federal Police, they have opposed it or have sought to water it down; and when they were in government they cut money from ASIO. Don't take a lecture from the Labor Party. They want the public to believe that there is no difference between the Labor Party and the coalition when it comes to border protection and national security. They are weak on both. We know that the previous Leader of the Opposition was particularly weak when it came to border protection, but this guy, with his glass jaw, takes the cake. Watch him in question time. He has a glass jaw and he demonstrates it every day.
