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

As we listen to the jeers and the guffaws of an arrogant and out-of-touch opposition, they've put the cue in the rack. They think they're already there. They think they can do whatever they want. I'll never forget what Peter Garrett said back before the 2007 election. We all remember it. While they were all trying to pretend there wouldn't be anything dramatic, that they would just be John Howard-lite if Kevin Rudd were elected, Peter Garrett let the cat out of the bag when he said, 'We'll change it all.' That's what the Leader of the Opposition's plan is. That's what the Labor Party's plan is. They want to change it all. That means the economy. That means the very things that Australians depend on for their jobs and livelihoods. You won't hear from the opposition plans to support small and family businesses. You won't hear plans to ensure that we increase female workforce participation in this country. You won't hear that. What you'll see from the Labor Party is them taking the law-breakers in the union movement and turning them into lawmakers on their very benches. This is a cocky and arrogant leader of the Labor Party who thinks the job is already done. That's not our view. We will fight him every day to the next election because he will destroy our economy.
