We have delivered, as we promised, tax cuts to middle-income Australians. Half a million Australians on middle incomes will not be going into the second highest tax bracket—thanks to our national economic plan.

Of course, a key part of our plan has been the delivery of open markets, free trade—that opportunity of jobs and growth for Australian exporters. So we have seen the signing of the new and considerably expanded Singapore-Australia Free Trade Agreement, as part of that providing jobs and growth in North Queensland and $2¼ billion of investment by Singapore in Australian defence facilities at Townsville and Shoalwater Bay. So right across the board—with the omnibus savings bill delivering $11 billion of saving—we are governing, we are delivering and we are getting on with the job.

On that note, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
