I can't stand opposition leaders/MPs who criticise a bill/action just because an MP in the government came up with it. If it's a crap idea, fair enough but evaluate the idea on its merits or lack of them and propose a better one rather than wasting everyone's time and money by tearing others down just to build themselves/their party up...

and the "we have a moral obligation/mandate" line really concerns me as does the use of "ït's unAustralian" to diss anything that the politician in question doesn't agree with.
