We will continue to pursue a pro-business, pro-jobs, pro-opportunity agenda where all Australians have the best possible opportunity to get ahead. On this side of the chamber, we understand that to create more jobs we need to provide the environment for business to be more successful into the future. That is why we have worked so hard to generate a more growth-friendly business tax system. That's why we have worked so hard as part of our ambitious free trade agenda to create better opportunities for Australian exporting businesses to sell Australian products and services around the world. That is why we have worked so hard implementing our ambitious productivity-enhancing infrastructure investment program. And that is why in the coming weeks and months we will continue to work hard to bring electricity prices down. Under Labor, electricity prices would go up and up. Under the coalition, electricity prices will continue to go down because that is good for households and businesses around Australia.
