We follow through. What the Australian people need to know about those on that side is that they will huff and they will puff about these things, but if they ever have the opportunity they will not do anything because they are addicted to the tax revenues that fuel their higher aspirations for spending.

Those opposite are happy to make commitments without being able to pay for one, but on this side we make sure that the budget washes its face when it comes to new initiatives. Whether it is for childcare or anywhere else, we make sure we put the measures in place to fund the changes we wish to make for the Australian people
