WHAT THEY SAID
"The member for Blair is armed with his ring of steel, his hammer of Thor, his golden lasso." - Attorney-General Christian Porter on Labor's immigration spokesman Shayne Neumann.
"We have every confidence in Joe Hockey as our ambassador in Washington DC." - Leader of the House Christopher Pyne.
"This scandal ... I'm going to call chum-gate, because chum-gate involves so many Liberal Party chums, doesn't it?" - Labor finance spokesman Jim Chalmers.
