This MPI just proves the fact that this government has been dedicated, since coming to office, to smashing into working- and middle-class families, and their communities. We all remember their little booklet—you do not see this much anymore, you do not see it referred to much anymore, Our Plan—Real Solutions for all Australians. I always love The direction, values and policy priorities of the next coalition government. It bears no resemblance to what they have done in the 2014 or 2015 budgets. This flimsy pack of lies was their election platform, this flimsy pack of lies that they took to the people at the last election. The member for Hindmarsh, the member for Bass and other members took that flimsy pack of lies to their electorate and solemnly said, 'This is what we will do if we are elected,' and what did we get when they came to government? We got the 2014 budget, and what did the 2014 budget do?
