Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

There will be a choice made by Australians this year at the election, and they will be weighing up the choice, and economic management will be a key factor in that choice because of the uncertain times which we face. The leader of the Labor Party has supported higher taxes all his life. To think he wouldn't do so when push comes to shove at the behest of the member for Melbourne and the Greens is pure fantasy. Weak financial management: they would have spent $81 billion more during the pandemic from the very policies they enunciated during the time. Their climate policies will only put electricity prices up, because they don't strike the right balance. And small business will face a rejuvenated militant union movement, whether on the waterfront or in the supply chain, choking up their supply chains. This is the Leader of the Opposition who wanted the government to buy an airline in the middle of the pandemic, but when he was transport minister he couldn't even build an airport. (Time expired)
