Mr President, I have a further supplementary question. Given that five years of this government has resulted in a carbon tax we were not meant to have—and I refer the minister to page 13 of the Penrith Press of 14 February for the letter on the Penrith Whitewater Stadium costs, double-digit hikes in electricity, water and gas bills, a broken promise on means testing of private health insurance rebates, a 29 per cent hike in rents, and $147 billion in net debts—why should western Sydney residents have any confidence that this Prime Minister takes the needs and aspirations of those people seriously?
