We've gone from 'Back in Black' to 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'. They're chopping JobKeeper, uni fees are up by 113 per cent in a dirty deal with the South Australian crossbench, they've done the dirty on people over 35 looking for a job, and they're snapping back to $40 a day for those on JobSeeker. The Prime Minister used to lecture us in this place about a debt bomb! This is his 'TNT' budget: a $966 billion debt bomb. When it comes to climate change, they are 'dirty, mean and mighty unclean'. And if you were 'shaking all night long' and, as a result, nine months later had a child, there's nothing for child care. There is not a cent of extra initiatives for child care. They're even cutting the Local Schools Community Fund. That's a $200,000 cut for the Perth electorate. There's nothing more for my local schools. They're cutting all of your local schools as well as denying them funds.

I think the member for Burt must have been involved in the naming of Labor's commitment to an Australian centre for disease control, an ACDC—a 'highway to health', you might say. Australia needs an ACDC, and only Labor will deliver one. When it comes to the Prime Minister, he's not an AC/DC fan. He loves Tina Arena. He walks around whistling 'Wasn't It Good'.
