It was really interesting to listen to the contribution from the member for Hindmarsh, who talked about jobs and the creation of jobs. Jobs are going only one way in South Australia—out. The member for Hindmarsh, as with all members on the other side of the House, fails to take any responsibility: it is always Labor's fault. The member for Hindmarsh needs to know that he has to take responsibility and needs to accept the fact that his government has had an enormous impact on the car industry and submarine contracts going to Japan.

Why isn't he standing up for his electorate when it comes to those contracts going overseas?

This week the Abbott government has demonstrated very graphically to the Australian people its contempt for them—broken promises based on lies. This is a government that said one thing before the election and another thing after the election. Before the election, the government said, 'No cuts to health'. They are pushing a GP tax of $7, which will affect X-rays and blood tests as well as going to your GP and going to your specialist. It will have a dramatic impact on the cost of health services in this country. It will really affect people's costs of living.
