Henry in The Australian Wed 8 August:

"The genie is out of the bottle and no statistic is safe. For clutching his Gini coefficients, Wayne Swan is on the rampage. The Treasurer's fury is directed at this paper's George Megalogenis, who writing in last Thursday's edition dared suggest inequality had increased on the class warrior's watch."

"There are two issues with the National Disability Insurance Scheme: how it will be paid for, and how its services are delivered.

Those opposing movements transformed a gap between Labor and the electorate into a chasm. And with voters sceptical of the Prime Minister's trustworthiness from the outset, that chasm now threatens to swallow Labor whole."
