Senator McCarthy, we're very pleased to be judged by our actions, because our actions have consisted of reducing the income tax burden on Australian workers and families and reducing the income tax burden on small and medium Australian enterprises, enabling them to employ more Australians. And there are more tax cuts on the way from the Turnbull government. There are the thus far unlegislated elements of our enterprise tax plan and there are the personal income tax cuts, which Mr Turnbull foreshadowed on Sunday, as you have acknowledged, Senator McCarthy. That's the difference between the Labor Party and the Liberal Party—higher taxes as well as higher electricity prices under the Labor Party; lower taxes and lower electricity prices under the coalition.
