there will be many, many occupations—school principals or police superintendents, which are not normally regarded as being part of the millionaire, banker class of Vaucluse—that will be earning an income that gets up towards that $200,000 mark. What we want to be able to ensure is that for that part of the tax system, the income system, there is every incentive and no disincentive for people to do more, to have a go, to invest, to be ambitious, to aspire and to get ahead. The Labor Party members may seek to dismiss that in the contemptuous way the honourable member opposite did a moment ago. I say: shame on the Labor Party. They used to believe in workers getting ahead. They used to believe in giving people a hand. Nowadays they sound very much like a privileged elite that wants to keep the workers in their place.
