He says it's boring to talk about $387 billion, but that's not what the Australian people thought at the last election, because when the member for McMahon said, 'If you don't like our policies, don't vote for us,' they took him literally.

Just the other week, he was given an opportunity to support our legislated stage 3 income tax cuts, and he refused to do so, saying, 'We'll have to wait and see.' It's because those on the other side of the House don't believe in lower taxes. We on this side of the House absolutely do.
