a token lefty HOME Wednesday, 3 December 2003 A good lie? Labor’s unwillingness to just take Medicare Plus and a good lie down attracted this quote from whom in parliament yesterday? "What is wrong with a safety net, how could anybody object to a safety net, Mr Speaker?" "I can understand them objecting to other things but a nice, simply protective, cuddly safety net?" Could be Howard. Or Costello. Abbott, easily. Even Downer. Funny how similar in tone they look on paper. It must be the Liberal Party Sneer’n’Smirkâ at work.
