That is exactly what will happen—each and every one of you want to take this money off them. What we know is that this Leader of the Opposition talked about families having confidence in him—saying that, when it came to judging him, they could judge him on his record. He talked about the forgotten Australians, the forgotten families. Well, we know who forgot them! Each and every one of you forgot about Australian families when you voted no to the schoolkids bonus. And of course the member for Sturt has let the cat out of the bag today and made it absolutely plain that if you ever get the chance you will rip this money off families—claw it back; take the money out of the pockets of families—because it is only this side of the parliament that wants to help families. You just want to rip the money off them.
