One of the witnesses was a motor mechanic who left the workforce due to a disability. He told us that, under Labor's proposed policy, he'll lose $9,000 a year—a quarter of his annual income—the money he uses to fund the medical expenses and other costs associated with his family and one of his children who has special needs. There are thousands and thousands more stories just like that, street by street, across Brisbane and across Australia. The fact is, Labor's policy hits the most vulnerable the hardest. It is discriminatory and it is unfair.
