I withdraw, President. So, at the same time, the coalition is saying that free TAFE is not worth funding. What they do think is worth funding is their secret plan for $10 billion in long lunches for bosses. The shadow Treasurer, the leading economics spokesperson in the opposition, has even claimed that their long lunches policy is a productivity measure. This week he was asked: 'And where are the productivity gains from? I guess the lunch tax deductions,' and Mr Taylor said, 'We're pulling every lever we can to drive productivity.' It's a 'parmi' productivity plan from Angus Taylor! We know that the coalition is going to cut free TAFE. They've already said they will, just like they'll cut wages. But it's rolled gold for bosses with free lunches.
