We shouldn't be surprised, because this is a trend from those opposite—their cruel approach to those doing it toughest. This is the party that created robodebt, where ministers bragged that they would be a 'tough cop on the beat'—an illegal scheme that threatened people that they would go to prison. Unlike those opposite, we reject the cruel approach. We want to support all Australians, including those doing it toughest, and we will continue working for a better country. (Time expired)
