Oh, he says 'no'. I take the interjection from those opposite because let me remind them what those opposite said about our tax cuts. The member for Rankin is not looking because he knows. They said our tax cuts were 'offensive'. They said our tax cuts were a 'con job'. The member for McMahon said our tax cuts were 'reckless'. Now we see a tug of war between the member for Grayndler, who is backed up by the member for Hindmarsh, and 'Chairman Swan', who is backed up by his acolyte, the member for Rankin, over the $387 billion of higher taxes. But today there was another player in that debate. The member for Maribyrnong came into the debate and he said it was inevitable that they would have to rethink their policies. I think this is the first time the member for Maribyrnong and the member for Grayndler have been on the same side of a debate. The Australian people know that the Labor Party will always be the party of higher taxes, and the coalition will always be the party of lower taxes and more jobs. (Time expired)
