What a desperately written MPI from an opposition that couldn't even navigate their way back to port in calm waters, let alone when there's been a storm. Public trust in government has been at an all-time low after a decade of the Liberal coalition government. I will put up Anthony Albanese as Prime Minister against Scott Morrison any day. The Australian people finally saw through the Liberal coalition under Scott Morrison for their rorts, dishonesty and lies. They made their judgement based on what they had experienced for over a decade.

The Liberal coalition were caught out, time and time again, for the lies, the corruption and the rorts of grants. That is what this opposition will be remembered for, for some time to come. It's very unfortunate that those opposite have the audacity to come in here and make these claims in relation to broken promises when, in fact, the Australian people still see us as the government of hope, the government that will put their interests first and the government where they know the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister, not a prime minister who tries to take on other ministers' portfolios.
