How many times has he said it since he was elected?

Opposition members: Zero!

It's a broken promise. It's terrible. Every time you ask them about it, they say: 'We've taken money out of your taxes to give you a little bit back to compensate for the amount it's gone up, to say sorry that we told you it was going to go down.' Is that $275 their re-election pledge? Unbelievable! Also in the cruel hoax of a budget about the other night were the tax cuts. Here's a tax cut: I've got three 20c coins and one 10c coin; you will get that much off your tax a day. When do you get it? Do you get it now when you really need it? Did they legislate it so that it kicks in in June or July? No, it's 15 months away, and that's what you get: 70c a day. Unbelievable!

Have a look. If you want to see what immediate pain relief looks like—and I know we feel pain in the regions a lot—just watch tonight.
