The best thing that that we can do for the families of Australia is to precisely honour the commitments that we made to them at the election. They know our country is in a mess. They know that Labor has created a mess. That is why they changed the government and now, having got our country into a mess, members opposite are obstructing the clean-up. Shame on them, Madam Speaker. The best thing we can do for the people of Australia is get rid of the carbon tax and members opposite should not be standing in the way of that.
