But, again, I invite the honourable member to actually embrace a challenge; embrace ambition for a change. For once in your life, why don't you actually embrace stretch targets?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3122">The Hon. I.K. HUNTER:</by>  The problem with that is that when they embrace stretch targets they actually have to work a little bit; they actually have to do a bit of hard work. They actually have to go out to the community and talk to them about what their ambitions are and try and unite communities around a common goal. That's not the strength of the Liberal Party. This is a party made up of individuals, individuals who can't work together. They can't work together. You only have to look at what they've done in terms of the revolving door around leadership to work out that they actually can't work together to save themselves and, goodness knows, they certainly can't work together to run a government.</text>
