Tomorrow will be my first day back in my electorate of Spence since 74,000 people in my electorate started receiving their tax cut along with a number of other measures our government has put in place to provide targeted cost-of-living relief where it counts the most. It's also the first day back in my electorate since 67,000 people in Spence started to receive an even bigger tax cut because of our Labor government. Ninety-one per cent definitely isn't too bad, I must say.

This isn't a unique experience for me either. After all, every Australian taxpayer is receiving a tax cut. Plenty of members on the other side of the chamber will be doing the exact same thing, just like the member for Riverina, who will have 58,000 taxpayers better off because of our tax cuts, or the member for Farrer, who will have 66,000 taxpayers better off because of Labor's tax cuts. To all Australians, particularly those who have Liberal or National MPs representing them: where were they when the Prime Minister announced that he would be fighting to scrap the Morrison government's tax plan and give 84 per cent of all Australians an even bigger tax cut? For the member for Sturt's sake: will the 74,000 people in your electorate remember how those opposite had to be dragged kicking and screaming to give them a bigger tax cut? I wonder!
