I'm very happy to get to our record of higher wages, lower inflation and lower unemployment. I'm very happy to talk about that. But I think Senator McGrath and Mr Dutton should acknowledge their mistake of a $50 billion cut from public hospitals and a GP tax on every Australian. I think it would be good if they could acknowledge their mistake, which is their $600 billion of funding for a nuclear scheme—a nuclear fantasy—for more-expensive power that will deliver four per cent of Australia's grid. I'm all for accountability, Senator McGrath. We have yet to see it from Mr Dutton.
