There was a lot of preamble there. I am standing here and I am taking responsibility. I am the finance minister. I was involved in the decisions. I did work over the summer with the Treasurer and the Prime Minister, laser focused on providing cost-of-living relief to Australian households. That's what matters. That's the work we did over summer while you were preparing for Nemesis and all your little slots on that, and Peter Dutton was out working out a way to lose 200,000 jobs at Woolworths. We were working on making sure that middle- and low-income households got a fair share of the tax cuts. That is the proposal that, whilst you have slithered and awkwardly moved around it, you are now backing and you accept is the right policy.
