Our priorities are low inflation, keeping wages growing, more jobs, more opportunities and cost-of-living support where we can provide that. That stands in stark contrast to those opposite. From the policies they have announced to date there is a $600 billion bill for nuclear energy, for some time in the future, to deliver four per cent of our country's energy needs, and $350 billion in cuts to pay for the nuclear plan they have for nuclear reactors around the country. The other one is $10 billion for people to go out to lunch and slug the taxpayer for it. That is the plan.

That is the contrast between a government that's focused on cost of living and their focus on nuclear reactors and breaking the budget, and then cutting services, cutting pensions, cutting Medicare, cutting school spending and cutting hospitals in order to pay for it. (Time expired)
