One point four million jobs were created under the economic policies of this government, and 75 per cent of those are full-time jobs. A budget that is coming back into surplus this year and real wage growth occurring under this government: that's what's happening now. People are not only earning more; they're getting to keep more of what they earn, and we want them to earn more in the future. But you won't get higher wages with higher taxes. That's what the Labor Party never understands. They never understand that, if they want to tax people more, they will slow the economy, which will thieve them of their economic opportunities.
