It is important that workers' rights and cost-of-living support don't end up on Mr Dutton's chopping block, because the last few years have been tough for many Australians, and that's why the Albanese Labor government has worked so hard to deliver more jobs, higher wages and low unemployment, along with lower inflation. That has enabled us to deliver a tax cut for every Australian in our budget.

You know, it was great to see our job creation record being recognised by the people of Australia. Just this morning we heard from a Mr A Taylor from the electorate of Hume, who told the ABC:

… let me tell you this is a job market that's strong. I mean, it's as strong as we have ever seen.

This Mr A Taylor from Hume—I'm told he's a smart guy. Some people say he's a Rhodes scholar in fact. That's what makes it so disappointing to see his colleagues leaking against him. In yesterday's coalition party room meeting, which was leaked after a directive not to leak it, Mr Dutton said the attacks were being motivated by New South Wales intraparty feuding. Who could that be, Senator Hughes, Senator Bragg and Senator Sharma? (Time expired)
