We on this side of the chamber stand for encouraging the Australian people so that they have the best possible opportunity to get ahead. We stand for more investment, stronger growth, more jobs and higher wages. Those on that side of the chamber stand for a socialist agenda that will make all Australians poorer. You stand for an antibusiness, anti-opportunity, socialist, politics-of-envy agenda that will leave all Australians worse off; that will lead to less investment, lower growth, fewer jobs, higher unemployment and lower wages. That is going to be the choice for the Australian people at the next election: do they want more jobs and higher wages or fewer jobs, higher unemployment and lower wages under Bill Shorten and the Labor Party?
