I thought he was going to table another set of finger paintings, Mr Speaker! Labor talked today about secure work, but the reality is that, when they were in government, unemployment was 5.7 per cent. It's 4.2 per cent today. The Labor Party talk about high wages. When Labor were last in government, real wages were falling. The Labor Party talk about the cost of living, but electricity prices doubled when Labor were last in government. They talk about lower debt, but they've made more than $90 billion of additional spending promises that aren't funded. They talk about lower taxes, and we know this Leader of the Opposition supported $387 billion of higher taxes at the last election. We on this side of the House stand for more jobs. We on this side of the House stand for lower taxes. The same can't be said about those opposite.
