Senator Kate Lundy has condemned Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile for his hypocrisy on constitutional recognition of local government.
Today Mr Vaile reportedly told a local government conference in Queensland that he supported constitutional recognition.
What he needs to do now is explain why he joined Coalition Members who voted against constitutional recognition in the House of Representatives on 17 October last year.
While he is at it, Mr Vaile should explain why Coalition Senators, including National Party Senators from Queensland, voted against constitutional recognition in the Senate just yesterday.
The National Party has long been famous for acting as a lion in the electorate and a sheep in the Parliament.
But Mr Vaile’s hypocrisy today takes this behaviour to new lows.
