The truth of it is that we may not be back in this place until after the 2025 election. If things don't get better quickly for this flailing Prime Minister who has no political judgement, then many suspect he'll call an early election. One thing I know for sure is that there are no guarantees for anyone in this place, so this may be the last opportunity I have to speak directly to Australians about what is most important to our future.

You have the power to exercise your democratic right and vote for a change at the next election. But, before you do, I want to ask you a few simple yes-no questions. Have those promises made to you by the Prime Minister come to fruition? Are you better off now than you were three years ago? Are your power bills lower? Are your mortgage pay payments lower? Is your life actually easier now than in 2022? If the answer to these questions is no, and I suspect it will be so, then it's time for a rethink. It's time to readjust the course of our nation.

You can choose a different way: a future where fairness, opportunity, enterprise and prosperity are within reach for all Australians; a country with strong leadership, where inflation and interest rates are lower, and where more houses are being built for Australians; a country where people of the Jewish faith do not fear for their lives in their own suburbs and in their own homes; a country where entrepreneurialism is thriving, not the country with 24,729 insolvencies in 2½ years under this government— (Time expired)
