We had an interjection there from Senator Cameron that Labor would spend the money better. That is, of course, exactly what this is all about: 'Tax more to spend more', irrespective of the damage that it would do to the Australian economy along the way.

We have delivered tax cuts for small- and medium-sized business already. We've delivered tax cuts for 3.2 million small- and medium-sized businesses, which will help them be more successful. More successful small- and medium-sized businesses mean more jobs and better wages, and Labor should support the remainder of the tax cuts.
