Labor is focused on tackling the toughest of challenges, focused on fixing the problems that matter to Australians and focused on getting the job done for our communities. We're focused on building our country up while the angry and divisive Leader of the Opposition has spent every day trying to pull it down. He's angry because Labor is helping everyday Australian workers fight the cost of living. We're doing that by delivering increased wages, by improving workplace laws by closing loopholes and by delivering a tax cut for every single taxpayer in this country. The Liberals want to destroy these benefits for Australian workers by blocking them in this very place. The opposition leader is even angrier that Labor is building a stronger health system for every Australian. As we deliver cheaper medicines and invest in Medicare urgent care clinics and mental health clinics, the Liberals want to make it harder for Aussies to look after themselves by trying to block these changes. The opposition leader is absolutely seething because Labor is making it easier for Australian families to keep a roof over their heads. The Liberals teamed up with One Nation in the Senate this week to try and destroy housing affordability in this country. Led by the angry Leader of the Opposition, the Liberals will always be blockers and knockers to everyday Aussies. The Labor government are focused. We are focused on building Australia's future.
