Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

Older Australians have a target on their backs from this Leader of the Opposition, because he knows how to put his hand in their pockets and in their purses. What he knows, if he bothers to listen to Australians, is this: they know. They know that you're coming after them if you get into government.

Dr Leigh interjecting—

Yes, I note the member for Fenner. Older people are humans too, Member for Fenner, and you're after them as well. Those retirees are going to remember every single one of you. There are thousands in your electorates, and they are a quiet army against the election of a Labor government at the next poll. They will remember you, and they will put a 1 in the Liberal box. They'll say to the Leader of the Opposition, 'We've had enough of your big taxes.' Higher taxes, bigger spending, bigger deficits—that is the story of the Labor Party. That's what these amendments say once again. Labor cannot be trusted on tax. They are unbelievable from here to eternity.
