Do you know what Australians can't afford? They can't afford Mr Dutton. They can't afford the bloke who thinks that a GP tax is good health policy. They can't afford the bloke who thinks that $600 billion is worth a nuclear fantasy. They can't afford the bloke who has been clear that he will cut government services to the tune of in excess of $350 billion. That is what Australians can't afford. And they can't afford a government that seeks to keep wages deliberately low.

We know that Mr Dutton actually wants to return to the low-wage economy that the coalition have always worked to achieve. Australians can't afford Mr Dutton. Australians will be worse off under Peter Dutton. With that, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
