I thank Senator Polley for her question. She, of course, is one of the great Tasmanian Senate team for Labor, and they all know that every single taxpayer in Tasmania and around the country will be better off as a result of these tax cuts. In fact, in Senator Polley's home state of Tasmania, nine in 10 taxpayers will receive a bigger cut than they would have under the Morrison government's policies. Nine in 10—280,000 people—will pay less tax than they are now. We know hardworking women are likely to earn less. In Tasmania, about 140,000 women will get a tax cut, and 94 per cent of them will get more than they would have under the Morrison-Dutton plan. So I'd say to Senator Duniam, Senator Chandler, Senator Colbeck and Senator Askew, why is it that our Senate team can do so much more for Tasmanians, and particularly Tasmanian women, than you ever could?
