encoded: To Australians listening tonight, thank you very much for your time. Soon, you'll have a say in determining the future of our great country. We live, literally, in the best country in the world, and we're the beneficiaries of what our forbears have built and defended. We love this country because it has forged us into a remarkable people. We're compassionate, we're stoic, we're fair and we're quietly patriotic. We cherish this country because it affords opportunities like no other, but only—and I stress this point—if we're governed well. When Australia is governed badly, dreams and ambitions become beyond reach. And that's what has happened during the last three years of the Albanese government. In my travels across the country, Australians tell me that they're working hard but they're not getting ahead. In Perth, a mum in a grocery store in tears told me how she, her husband and her children couldn't keep their heads above water with the bills stacking up. In Adelaide, I spoke with a food manufacturer whose electricity prices had gone up by about 300 per cent. In Victoria, I spoke with a supermarket employee, a woman in her 60s, who had a machete held against her throat during a robbery. In Brisbane, I listened to a young couple in their 30s who have moved back in with their parents because they simply can't buy a home even though both of them are working overtime. Such stories have now become commonplace across our country—stories of rent and mortgage stress; stories of power, shopping and insurance bills going through the roof; stories of home ownership being out of reach for so many; stories of it being increasingly difficult to see and to afford a GP; and stories of crime on our streets. For so many Australians, aspiration has turned to anxiety, optimism to pessimism and national confidence to national uncertainty. The truth is Australians can't afford three more years of the Albanese government. Every election is important. But this election does matter more t…

encoded: on indulgence—I think that was a pretty good answer, and I wanted to support the Prime Minister on what I think is an issue of national significance and importance. The Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister have rightly pointed out that we live in the most precarious period since the end of the Second World War. It's based on intelligence and the advice of the best people in uniform, not just here in Australia but in Europe and in other allies' intelligence networks as well, so it is appropriate that we make this investment. I think the Prime Minister, when he was the then Leader of the Opposition, made a brave call in supporting the then government's decision to go with the AUKUS nuclear propelled submarine. It is a safe technology. It provides the stealth capacity that the Prime Minister pointed out. It gives us the best in class of the technology, and it allows us to project and to provide defences to our country in a very uncertain century. I think to question that is not wise and not in our national interest, and I think it is important for the Australian public and for our allies to hear that there is and there always will remain a bipartisan position when it comes to the submarines. As the first line of defence, it will underpin our national security for decades and decades to come.

Will the Prime Minister join with me in cutting the price of petrol and diesel to save tradies, pensioners and families up to $28 a week instead of his 70c-a-day tax cut, which doesn't even come in for 15 months?

encoded: I don't want to show my age here, but you'll remember The Comedy Company, and there was a great character on The Comedy Company called Uncle Arthur. Remember Uncle Arthur? There he was floating around, rambling around. That speech by the Prime Minister darted back to the Gillard years. He projected himself forward. He was stuck yesterday. What was that incoherent rant from this Prime Minister who is out of luck and out of time? The reality is that this government has let down the Australian people. We saw from the Prime Minister then somebody who has lost his way, somebody who has an inability to hear what it is that Australians need. Last night, we saw a budget which really encapsulated what we already knew about this government and what we knew about previous Labor governments, going back to the Whitlam government. This is a tax-and-spend government. This is a reckless-spend Labor government at its very worst. This Labor Party has racked up a trillion dollars of debt, and they're saying to Australians, to an average family who is $50,000 worse off under the last three years of the Albanese Labor government: 'Be grateful. Be thankful, because 70c a day is coming your way in 15 months time.' You heard the Prime Minister earlier say: 'Mission accomplished. The job is done, and Australians should be thankful for everything they've got.' Well, Prime Minister, there are a record number of homeless Australians. There are a record number of single parents. There are a record number of pensioners who are sleeping rough this very day. There are millions of Australians who have lost their businesses, have lost their livelihoods and have lost hope in this government. This government had an opportunity in the budget to deliver support. Indeed, they had the opportunity in the last three budgets to deliver support. They didn't do that. They've spent money on projects which have driven up the cost of electricity, and I say to the Australian people that, at this election, we will …

encoded: My question is to the Prime Minister. Before the last election, Prime Minister, you promised that Australian families would be better off. The Prime Minister promised a $275 cut on 97 occasions before the election. Instead, they've gone up by $1,300. We've had the largest fall in living standards in history, our country is divided and 29,000 small businesses have gone broke. This Prime Minister's record adds up to nothing. How can struggling Australian families and businesses possibly afford another three years of the Albanese government?

encoded: I thank the Prime Minister for his words and for his update. I do also want to add words of thanks to the many people who were involved in what was an incredible preparation period but also those involved in the response period as well. I had the great fortune of speaking with SES workers and many first responders who were preparing, many of whom had travelled from Townsville and other places which had been affected by natural disaster, most recently in relation to flooding. In fact, I acknowledge—I was just speaking to the member for Herbert before—the flooding that's taking place in Townsville right now and people who are sandbagging and worrying about their businesses and their homes in that greater Townsville area. But they were there, rolling their sleeves up, and they were involved in the response. It was again a demonstration of that great Australian spirit. The work, in my own case, of the Moreton Bay council and Moreton Bay city, was exemplary. I acknowledge the work of not only Peter Flannery but also Adrian Schrinner in Brisbane City Council and Tom Tate on the Gold Coast, all of whom I caught up with and who did a remarkable job of responding. I also want to acknowledge the work of Premier Crisafulli, who was able to lead the state in an exemplary fashion and, to his great credit, provide the initial planning and the response as well. I want to thank the member for Page, the member for Moncrieff, the member for McPherson and the member for Fadden and all of those who were involved. I was just speaking before to Scott Buchholz, who was talking about growers in his electorate who still hadn't received the necessary support that they needed to get up on their feet again and to recover from what was a very serious event for them. We know that, for those people in Lismore, as the Prime Minister rightly pointed out, this is yet the latest devastation for them and for their communities. That is something we really acknowledge in this place. There were about 44,…

encoded: Well, if you're sitting at home at the moment around the kitchen table working out how you're going to pay bills, looking at your insurance premium which has gone up dramatically, looking at the rent bill, looking at the grocery bill—if you're looking at any aspect of expenditure in your household or, indeed, in your small business, you would've watched question time today and believed that this Prime Minister and this government were living in a parallel universe. This government is so far out of touch with where the Australian public is that it is deeply offensive. As day after day goes by, the Australian public realise that this Prime Minister has no solution for them, has no answer to their problems and is, in fact, the architect of the problems that have been created over the course of the last long 1,000 days. What we have seen from this Prime Minister and from this government from the very start is an absolute abrogation of their key responsibilities. Their first responsibility is to keep Australians safe. What has happened since particularly 7 October 2023 is that our country has become less cohesive and less safe. That is the reality. There are thousands and thousands of people in the Jewish community today who know that our country, their community and their neighbourhood is less safe because of the inaction and the weak leadership of this Prime Minister. This Prime Minister has demonstrated that he is out of his depth. When those people went to the steps of the Sydney Opera House, they weren't condemned as they should've been by this Prime Minister. When those protests started on the steps of the Opera House, they spread to university campuses and they went on unabated for months and months on the streets of Melbourne and of Sydney. People knew no red lines whatsoever because the police were instructed by a weak Premier in Victoria and by the Premier and the police minister in New South Wales to hold up law and order and to keep peace but not to intervene…

encoded: on indulgence—On behalf of the coalition I want to formally congratulate our colleague Paul Fletcher for the amazing contribution he's made to the Liberal Party, to many areas of endeavour, in different portfolios, but most importantly to the betterment of our country. He has been in our leadership group as Leader of the House. As he said, he's served under four leaders in our party, and we have each seen great qualities in Paul, and he hasn't let us down. He's been able to contribute to many debates because of his business background and because of his intellect, and his capacity has been on display around the shadow cabinet table and the cabinet table for a long period of time. We will miss him in his seat, but I know he's done a lot of work to help Gisele and provide support to a transition, which is going to be incredibly important, because we want to maintain that seat, and we want Gisele Kapterian in this parliament as the next member for Bradfield. Can I just say thank you to all of Paul's supporters who are here today and, most importantly, to his beautiful family. Families often make a sacrifice, and that's true in the Fletcher household as well. But Fletch has an incredible next career ahead of him. He has been a dear friend, a confidant and a great supporter to many of us for a long period of time, and we wish him every success in the next phase of life.

encoded: In question time today, the health minister claimed that I'd initiated a pause on the indexation of Medicare rebates, which is not true. The member for Sydney, under the former Labor government, was health minister at the time when the pause on Medicare rebates was initiated in the 2013 budget. This is clearly stated on page 177 of Budget Paper No. 2 of May 2013. The then president of the RACGP said that Labor's 2013 indexation pause would slash $664 million out of primary healthcare services. When I was health minister, the bulk-billing rate was at 84 per cent; today it's at 77 per cent.

encoded: Mr Speaker, to your words that you've just offered to the House, it is with longstanding precedent in this place that, if offensive words are uttered by a minister of the Crown, which, in this case, they most certainly have—that is not in dispute. The argument that the Leader of the House puts is not that the words were unparliamentary. His point is that they weren't dealt with in the first instance. Again, that is an argument that fails because the course of action taken was that, given the offensive nature of it, we responded in a way that was obviously proportionate to what were disgusting comments. There is a long precedent—not to mention the fact, Mr Speaker, that your predecessors have required, even if they haven't heard the words themselves, for the minister to withdraw that statement. That was your instinct, rightly; that was your direction to the minister. And now, with the weight of the Prime Minister and the Leader of the House trying to— Government members interjecting—
