They have abandoned funding the NDIS. They talk about jobs and they want to jack up the tax on small and medium businesses. They talk about their commitment to employment and opportunities, and at every turn they want to crush business with higher taxes and fewer incentives.

Our commitment is to deliver fairness with the NDIS. We have made the promise. And we have all made the promise—it was a bipartisan commitment—so now let's pay for it. We have said there should be needs based funding. Let's deliver it—clearly, transparently. And Labor ran around for years claiming they were delivering a Gonski model; they were not; it was a corruption of Gonski, as Ken Boston said. We are delivering it. Our budget is fair, transparent and consistent. Labor has failed. This desperate Leader of the Opposition can bore his caucus for as long as he likes—or for as long as they will endure him—but he will not persuade the Australian people he is anything other than a fraud.
