What, in fact, the Turnbull government and every single one of its policies is doing is stimulating the economy to encourage the kind of jobs growth that I have been telling you about, to encourage businesses to employ more people and to encourage businesses to give businesses the capacity to pay higher wages to the employees they hire. That is why, for example, we have introduced the enterprise tax plan and front-end loaded the enterprise tax plan, so the first beneficiaries of the enterprise tax plan are the small and medium enterprises, which are the engine room of the Australian economy. So, rather than take one thing in isolation, I encourage you to look at the overall picture, because our whole suite of policies is a suite of policies designed to boost the economy and to increase prosperity and wages.
