On this side of the chamber, the Morrison government's side of the chamber, we are focused on putting in place those policies which will ensure that businesses are able to prosper, grow, create more jobs for Australians and ensure the continued return of our economy. In terms of the biggest risk to supporting Australians, it is, of course, the imposition of higher taxes. You heard the Minister for Finance refer to what the Labor Party promised the Australian people when they last went to the election: $387 billion in higher taxes.

As we know, those opposite have never found a tax or a regulation that they haven't loved and haven't thought to put on business or on the Australian people. Well, on our side of the chamber, the Morrison government side of the chamber, we have it in our DNA to lower taxes, because we understand that it's your money and we need to give you back your money. Whether you are a business or whether you are a taxpaying Australian, you need to have in your pocket more of what you've worked for. (Time expired)
