‘The Prime Minister is a liar’: Peta Credlin blasts Speaker over ‘protection racket’

We will stay with the liar, liar, pants on fire.I mean, you want to know why people have lost faith with politics in this country.This is why when a big lie like this.

Can you rule out any changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax?Yes.How hard is it for the 50th time?

Becomes reality.A clear unambiguous lie like that.But now he even has the Speaker of the House running a protection racket for the Prime Minister.Here is the shadow treasurer today in question time.

Labor lied to Australia to Australians about plans.

I'm going to deal with this issue.I'm not comfortable with that term.And I refer to a speaker's ruling on the 18th of February 2002 with the reference of parties lying.So I'm just going to ask the I raised this yesterday, but if we're going to have this term being used, Speaker Corsley, Deputy Speaker Corsley informed the member he cannot refer to either political parties or individuals as being liars.

Well, hang on there, because yesterday the Speaker's ruling was very different.

Practice yesterday.This is what you said yesterday.Speaker order.I just want to deal with the word lie.We just want to make sure that is not directed to a person.Former speakers have directed it to parties.

Now, that wasn't directed to an individual.

Yep, that's exactly right.But now the speaker appears to be changing his mind from yesterday to today.

That was directed to the collective.Now I've done further research because you raised it with me. I don't want that term used and following on from the research that I've done regarding referring to political parties, I'm just going to ask for that to be tempered.

Well hang on there, said the Opposition's House Manager Dan Tehan.

You have referred to Deputy Speaker Causley.If you look at speakers, speakers have allowed this collective approach.And I think it's really important that this parliament, we don't get pressure from certain people, which then causes changes, right?I think this is really important.It's actually true.It's actually true.

Dan Tehan's right.to preference the precedent from a deputy speaker over a number of speakers, so more senior speakers, is pretty unusual.Now, for those old enough to remember, Deputy Speaker Corsley was a Nationals MP from the Howard era, who retired 20 years ago.He comes from a time, of course, when if a Prime Minister changed his mind, he took that change to an election, as John Howard did, over the GST.But this is not how Labor operates, is it?Not Labor and definitely not this Prime Minister.

So why this about -face from the Speaker?Yes, he's a Labor MP, of course he is, but he's generally regarded as a good Speaker.Again, the facts are not in dispute.The Prime Minister lied.You've heard it.He lied.

The Prime Minister is a liar.

Yeah, it's off the table.

Are you considering altering the capital gains tax discount in this country?

What we're considering doing is handing down a budget, Andrew, on the second Tuesday in May.So no CGT change?Our focus, as I've said, is tax cuts.

Clearly now, after this Budget week, truth is a casualty on the floor of the Parliament.

I'm just going to ask the House not to use that term.I think that's in the best interest for both sides.

OK, so Wilson then has another go.

Labor, misled, deceived, untruthed.to Australians about plans to tax them more.Will the Prime Minister rule out changing his mind about introducing a death tax?

It is a joke.But it got worse.Look at how the Prime Minister reacts to this legitimate question from Sydney MP, Liberal, Simon Kennedy.

To get ahead, the Prime Minister bought a property in his 20s.He claimed the CGT discount.He negatively geared his way to a $4 .3 million property in Copacabana.Now, today, The Australian reports 20 out of 23 of the Labor cabinet owns more than two properties they can continue to negatively gear.Why are younger Australians being denied these very same opportunities the Prime Minister and his cabinet colleagues continue to benefit from?

Now, I want you to watch how indignant the Prime Minister gets, his glass jaw on full display.

for ourselves down the track.That is what has happened.All declared, all declared.

Common Albanese, you don't get to play the poor housing commission kid card anymore.Not with a $4 million beach home that you rent out while all of us cover your living costs and then some.Now a lot said there about the old Marrickville home that he owned with his ex -wife, but not a word about this, the home in Dulwich Hill.the investment property that he just sold for $1 .75 million after evicting his long -time tenant Jim Flanagan in order to sell it.At the time, Flanagan said he was blindsided when his landlord, Albanese, sent him a letter to kick him out.It wasn't as if Albanese needed to move in there, was it?

Then as now, taxpayers are paying for Albanese to have the run of two five bedroom homes, The Lodge and Kirribilli House.Loved so much, she even had his wedding there.Now, as I've revealed before, the Prime Minister doesn't pay for his food, doesn't pay to get his house clean, to fill up his car, to insure or register it.To get on a plane, you pay for that heck.He doesn't even pay for his own toothpaste or shampoo.You do.

The pen on his desk, the phone bill, all of it.I mean, the bloke barely puts his hand in his own pocket.And by God, though, isn't he?He's quick to put his hand in yours.And it's not just in the billions where you will find labour waste.It is everywhere.

And to understand just how much disregard they have for taxpayers, have a look at this.Sent to me yesterday by a good friend of mine who lives in Canberra.Out and about she was, she came across this shop selling ex -government furniture, the stuff that the public servants don't think is good.enough for them anymore.Here it is, a second -hand chair that they're trying to sell for $440.But have a look again at the price, because taxpayers paid $1 ,700 for that to put it in a public servant's office.

$1 ,700 for just one chair imported from Italy.Now give me a break.Just like Paul Keating and his love of high -end Xenia suits and antique French clocks.Never get between a socialist and someone else's money.Anthony Albanese is nothing but a class war hater.

I like fighting Tories.That's what I do.That's what I do.

He's an unreconstructed trot and he is a liar.Now, unfortunately for him, I can't be shut down like the Speaker.Because I don't rely on the Prime Minister for my job like the Speaker does.I work for you.That's my job.In the words of Don Chip, it's to keep the bastards honest.

And if they just told the truth, well that would be half the battle.
