We know that he's going to break the budget with $600 billion nuclear reactors, dotted around the country; we know he's going to make $350 billion worth of cuts in order to part-pay for those nuclear reactors around the country; and, in addition to that, apart from cutting Medicare, cutting pensions, cutting veterans' affairs and cutting veterans getting access to compensation, he's going to ensure that every employer can take themselves, their family, their friends, their potential clients, their clients and their clients of a friend out to lunch and claim that back off every taxpayer in this country. Every taxpayer will be paying their taxes to fund Mr Dutton's long free lunch policy. That is the choice at this election—a crazy scheme that will break the budget— (Time expired)
