Not only are we getting the budget back in the black; we're also spending record amounts on schools, hospitals, infrastructure, aged care and, importantly, drought support—as well as reducing taxes so that Australians can keep more of what they earn and earn more.
The election was some 200 days ago. Since that time the Labor Party have changed their leader; they've changed their deputy leader; they've changed the chirpy shadow Treasurer; they've changed the shadow finance minister; they've had these so-called 'listening tours' around the country; and they've had a review in which the member for Hindmarsh said nothing would be sacrosanct. He said it would be ruthless and that everything was on the table—except one big thing: $387 billion of higher taxes. Those are the taxes that the Leader of the Opposition owns—$387 billion of higher taxes. (Time expired)
