Minister Michalea Cash’s train wreck interview with David Speers on Sky today confirms why she must go, the Greens' employment spokesperson Adam Bandt MP said today.

“This fumbling, bumbling, train wreck of an interview confirms why the Minister must go,” Mr Bandt said today.

“Having been forced to acknowledge her lies in the morning, by the evening the Minister could not point to any specifics in the enterprise agreement to sustain her scare campaign.”

"Her untruthful fear campaign exposed, the Minister resorted to waving around the legislation and saying how few pages it has.”

“Saying your legislation is only couple of pages long is not an argument for it. This Minister is not even capable of prosecuting the government’s scare campaign, let alone competently doing her job as Minister.”

Watch the interview here.
