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

Our government is going to get on with the job of continuing to strengthen our economy. Our side of the House believes in tax relief. The Labor Party have come into this place this week and they have said to Australians that they have learnt nothing about the need to let them keep more of what they earn. What is it about tax relief and tax cuts that the Labor Party are so opposed to? Why do they cling to this outdated and moribund view that says you have to tax Australians more to grow the economy? We took an economic plan to the Australian people, which they endorsed. They rejected the Labor Party's plan of higher taxes. What is it about higher taxes that the Labor Party are so obsessed with that means they remain shackled to this view of the world?
