Mr Morrison, to continue as Prime Minister after the next election, needs to secure the support of the Australian people. That is what he needs to secure. As we go to the next election, we will go with our record of achievement, having turned around the weakening economy we inherited from Labor, having turned around the rising unemployment rate that we inherited from Labor and having turned around the rapidly deteriorating budget position that we inherited from Labor. We will go with our record of achievement. We will go with our plans for the future. We will go to the election explaining to the Australian people how Labor's antibusiness, politics-of-envy, socialist agenda will make Australia weaker and Australians poorer. We will go to the next election with the commitment to the Australian people that, if they give Scott Morrison their confidence as Prime Minister, he will continue as Prime Minister to the election after that.
