@DanConifer: Which came first: the ABC interview or the letter? Another classic Penny Wong versus Mathias Cormann #estimates battle. This time it's about the post-Budget backflip on the energy supplement for Newstart recipients. #auspol @abcnews
But Senator Cormann prevented bureaucrats from answering, insisting he would take the question on notice and respond later when he had the full details. Senator Cormann told the Senate he was involved in two discussions with Mr Frydenberg and Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday, the day the Budget was released, about the energy supplement and Newstart recipients.
Wong really needs to stop playing to the cameras and being so theatrical. She needs to be constantly reminded of the ever increasing budget deficit/blow-out that Labor ran up when they were in power.
Wong is a silly little girl/boy.
MathiasCormann looked a bit wibbly wobbly in answering those questions🙈liarliarpantsonfire
I have been watching parliament question time and watched how stupid the labor party is - Their questions were each and every time cut down. I simply cannot understand why anyone that watched the question time vote for the labor idiots.
More likely: Wong takes down Cormann over Yet another forced Welfare blunder
