J: ( inaudible)...
PM: I think we ought to give Mr Downer the holiday period, don't you think
so?
J: How would you feel, though, about facing two separate Opposition
parties next year?
PM: Well, they have always been two separate Opposition parties this
has always been the great ruse of the Coalition. I mean, no-one has
ever elected them as a majority in their own right, ever. They have
always been a rural political rump, and the other now are, sort of, a
throwback to the past. I mean, basically, what is wrong with the
Coalition is, as I always say, it is not the jockey, but the horse. I mean
the horse the Coalition as a set of parties don't know what they want
for Australia, and that shows, and it doesn't matter who leads them.
J: Prime Minister, we have just seen retail growth at 9.2% is that too
fast?
PM: You must be joking.
