All over the country Australians are celebrating the generosity of our compassionate and benevolent leader, the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has thoughtfully offered struggling families some help with out-of-control power bills. He is giving families 50c a week! He is so generous, he is so loving, he is so kind! He understands his subjects. He is one of us. He is so in touch. I'm told our nation will soon be doing more to honour our dear leader's generosity. Planning is already underway for the festival of the half dollar. The Australian Mint will be issuing a commemorative 50c coin. Thousands of Australians will be making one local call in celebration! We thank the Prime Minister for his compassion and his big heart. People who can't pay their power bills can now pay for a soft serve from Macca's, or save for a month and buy a can of Coke. This is a truly remarkable offer from our most charitable and excellent leader. We do not deserve his kindness, but we are grateful for it nonetheless. There really has never been a more exciting time to be an Australian. Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you. Dear leader, resolute Malcolm the magnificent—50c!
