Hon CHRISTOPHER FINLAYSON (Attorney-General) : It has been very disappointing to listen to members opposite recite what can only be described as a farrago of incoherent bullet points prepared for them by the Labour research unit. I have listened to Clare Curran, Carol Beaumont, Brendon Burns, and Darien Fenton. They have all said the same thing, all with the same lack of enthusiasm and all with the same lack of conviction. It is a pity that the Labour Party research unit minions have to waste their time writing drivel for Labour backbenchers. They would be much more constructively engaged explaining to reporters Mr Goff’s research and development policy, because he certainly cannot explain it.
