I thank the member for Sturt for his question. He knows that more than 79,000 taxpayers in his electorate will get a tax cut as a result of the legislation that this side of the House supported. Around 30,000 will get the full $1,080 in the electorate of Sturt.

We on this side of the House see it as our job to help create more jobs, and we have seen more than 1.4 million new jobs created on our watch. We now have a record number of Australians in work. We have a participation rate which is at a record high, and we have a gender pay gap which is at a record low, having closed by $1,100 since you were last in office—
