Our strong economic management is driving jobs, investment and economic growth and underwriting the provision of services that Australians rely on. We're delivering a strong economy, with over 1.1 million new jobs since we came to government, the strongest growth in youth jobs in recorded history and economic growth the envy of the developed world. Also, the proportion of working-age people on a welfare payment is at its lowest point in 25 years.

Because our economy is strong, because our economy is growing, we're investing record funds into health and schools. Because our economy is growing, more families get the support they need through the National Disability Insurance Scheme. We are delivering these services without increasing the tax burden on working families, which is in a direct contrast to the approach of those opposite. They want to increase taxes dramatically. We're able to deliver services without increasing taxes.
