Again, we've seen this pattern with the Greens this week. They were really, really upset that a Labor government delivered a pay rise to early childhood educators: 'What a terrible thing to do! We've got to get up and complain about it in here.' Now they're really, really upset about a Labor government cutting HECS by $3 billion for university graduates. They're really, really upset about providing $427.4 million in payments to university students undertaking prac throughout their course.
Basically, you're just really, really upset, aren't you? You're really upset about the fact that you are never going to be in a government able to do any of these things that actually deliver real relief to people, rather than running around having a rally, having a social media blast, complaining and being really, really upset. That is all you have the capacity to do. You have no capacity to do anything that helps anyone. Good luck to you. We're getting on and delivering real relief rather than being really, really upset.
