A government senator: They hate it.

They hate it. We're acting to make workplaces safer from sexual harassment, with the passage of the respect at work bill, based on recommendations which were left unfinished, and we're ensuring Australia has the skills of tomorrow, creating 180,000 new fee-free TAFE places. We've expanded the Commonwealth seniors health card. We've ended the cashless debit card. We've established a royal commission into robodebt. We have delivered the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee. We passed an historic climate change bill and updated our climate targets.

You should listen; you might learn something, Senator Ruston. We've invested in renewable energy and Rewiring the Nation. We are establishing the Disaster Ready Fund, a vital tool as we battle floods across Australia. We have ended the cover-up culture.
