I would love to have the opportunity to debate the opposition's plans for Australia; unfortunately, I cannot because they do not have one.

This year, 2015, was to be the year of big ideas for Labor. What have we seen come from Labor's intellectual break-out year? Two new taxes: a multinational tax and their supposedly Fairer Super Plan. Same old Labor. Labor continue to stand for higher taxes and Labor want to lift Australia's standard of living by reintroducing the world's biggest, job-destroying carbon tax. Labor want to lift Australia's standard of living by running up more debt and bigger deficits. And Labor want to lift Australia's standard of living by opening our borders and spending Australian taxpayers' money on establishing reception centres for the people smugglers.
