Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Not for the first time, the Leader of the Opposition has been loose with the facts. He was preceded by the member for Sydney. In the interview that she was referring to, the journalist said, at a conference in Micronesia:

… what would you say is your greatest achievement since being Prime Minister?

I responded:

Jobs and growth—3.3 per cent economic growth, what about that? Continued strong growth in jobs. A continued strong transition from a mining construction boom to one that is more diverse.

That was my answer. If you go on for words and words, we go through the Defence white paper, innovation, superannuation, business tax cuts reform, NDIS—we talk about all those measures. The reality is that the member for Sydney and her leader have stood up here and said that I was asked what my greatest achievement was in my year as Prime Minister and that I said the business tax cut. That is completely and utterly false. The answer is there. Once again, there is no regard for the truth. Talk about post-truth politics! This is the parallel universe which they inhabit.
