For about the same cost as dishonouring a submarine deal, you could pay 2 and a half million workers an extra dollar an hour, for a full year. And they would spend it. That would stuff the economy though. #alboforPM #auspol #CookVotes @AustralianLabor #LooseUnit

OK. I've done my fair share of putting down the Member for Cook, but credit where it's due - I hear he's making an appearance at my son's school tomorrow. Good to see him engaging with the community. And credit to my son too - he said "Do I have to go?" #ALocal4Locals

@ByClare @dailytelegraph @couriermail @theheraldsun @theTiser Cool. Here's a scoop. Since being re-elected, my local member went overseas twice, tried to get a job with the NRL, opened a church in Perth, jigged the first week of Parliament, and slept through the second. Think you could run with that? @AustralianLabor #CookVotes
