Nationals MP Keith Pitt says the Labor Party “wasted two hours attacking” former prime minister Scott Morrison amid the motion to censure him in parliament.
Mr Pitt says, “to spend that time in the parliament on an attack on an individual I just think was wrong”.
“I actually think people won’t like it at all, they’re out there worried about being able to pay their bills and their mortgages and their fuel,” Mr Pitt told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “And everything else that continues to go up and Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party wants to spend the parliament’s time kicking Scott Morrison.”
