We on this side of the House understand the importance of education. We have policies on education that will drive this country forward. We have policies in relation to taxation that will take this country forward. We are having a discussion with the Australian people and we are aiming to come up with a tax system that will be of benefit of all Australians. For those Australians on lower incomes, it will be a tax system that will support those Australians to provide them with the services they need going forward. And for those who are in business and for those who are striving to better themselves, it will be a tax system which will give them the incentive to increase their incomes and assist in the growth of the Australian economy. We on this side of the House are about driving Australia forward; those on the other side of the House are about holding this economy back.
