I can inform the House that in January of this year—while I've been the Treasurer, Mr Speaker—the IMF said that Australia's economic growth in 2020 and 2021 will be higher than the United States', higher than the United Kingdom's, higher than France's, higher than Germany's, higher than Japan's and higher than Canada's. The facts tell the story that the Australian economy has grown on the coalition's watch. More small businesses have been created, more people have found jobs and, importantly, we have delivered lower taxes. More than $300 million of lower taxes have passed through the parliament. Only the coalition can be trusted to deliver a stronger economy and more jobs.
