The only rabble, Senator Cameron, will be your support base. Your support base will be scattered across the Hunter Valley and across the Illawarra as we tell the workers of the Illawarra that we kept them in a job, as we tell the workers of Dawson that we kept them in a job, as we tell the workers of the Hunter Valley that we kept them in a job. What did they give to the Australian working family? The promise that they would put them out of work. That was the delivery that the Labor Party gave to the Australian working family. They said they would ease the squeeze. What a joke! They ease the squeeze for working families by putting up the price of power, putting up the price of food, putting up the price of everything in their life—and they have got no choice but to pay the tax. This tax comes from every corner of the house, and they know it. That is them easing the squeeze for working families!
