(—) (): Mr Morrison is part of a team that has turned the economic fortunes of Australia around. We inherited a weakening economy from Labor. We inherited rising unemployment from Labor. We inherited a rapidly deteriorating budget position from Labor. We inherited chaos at our borders from Labor. Mr Morrison, along with every Liberal and National member and senator in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, has worked hard to ensure that today the economy is stronger, employment growth is much stronger, our budget is in a stronger and improving position and our borders are more secure. Of course, Mr Morrison remains an outstanding advocate for our vibrant tourism sector and is highly recognised in the tourism sector as such. Labor, clearly, have run out of ideas. You're focusing on 10 years in the past because you don't have any ideas for the future. Your only ideas for the future are to whack Australian families and businesses with $200 billion in higher taxes, which would harm the economy and put jobs at risk. (Time expired)
