There's a lot of applause for my arrival at the dispatch box, and I know they're all keen to hear my contribution on the Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Relief So Working Australians Keep More Of Their Money) Bill 2019. What an appropriately named bill it is—how apt, how correct, how appropriate. Those opposite would do well to listen to these words:

The Labor Party has put itself in a perilous position by refusing to back the tax cuts. The coalition placed its tax package front and centre of the election campaign. The government has a mandate to deliver on it.

Who would have said that? Would it be somebody from this side of the House?
