It was very modest compared to what we've said about each other—very modest. The fact is that, last night, the feedback from the Leader of the Opposition was that he agreed that our tax cuts would help low- and middle-income earners. When asked why he then didn't just keep the high-end stuff as well, he said, 'Well, you can't do both.' It was an assessment that gave a complete tick to the actions that this government has taken, which is maybe why they're voting for it but arguing against it at the same time.

But Australians out there are saying positive things. Australians out there are responding because they know that this government had the courage to take the right decision at the right time for the right reasons to make a difference for them.
