We know the unemployment rate was higher when Labor was in and the participation rate was lower than it is today. We know we shouldn't expect anything different from those opposite, when the member for Sydney said she's mystified by the term 'aspiration', when the member for Corio said Labor took to the last election 'handouts not hope', when the member for Rankin says the retiree tax and the housing tax are things that he is proud of and pleased with. No wonder former Labor Prime Minister Paul Keating said the Labor today has lost the ability to speak to aspirational Australians and to formulate policies to meet those aspirations.
