          <by role="member" id="3164">The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:21):</by>  The Labor Party is shameless. They know that ICAC matters can't be discussed. What I would particularly like to highlight is that this is the party that represents workers—allegedly. Many of those workers work for the Public Service. They don't put themselves out into the public domain to be smeared by their so-called political wing.</text>
        <text id="20191205e02a5265a8844c91a0000349">We have public servants who are, in good faith, contributing significantly to the welfare of this state and apparently Labor has now decided: if you work for a Liberal government, even if you had been working for us for 16 years, if you work for a Liberal government you are open game. We will smear and slur and defame you.</text>
        <text id="20191205e02a5265a8844c91a0000350">We don't take that approach. We appreciate that our party is not the political wing of the industrial movement but we work respectfully with the Public Service. We certainly won't be any part of Labor's smear campaign.</text>
