Josh Frydenberg (Kooyong, Liberal Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I know the Leader of the Opposition doesn't want to be reminded that he had a $6 billion conversation starter to spend money to pay people who have already had the jab. The Leader of the Opposition wanted our government to run with his policy. The only problem was that the shadow cabinet was running away from his policy. But there's one set of policies that the Labor Party will never run away from, and that's their plans for higher taxes. That's why we weren't surprised to see on the front page of the Australian there were plans that the shadow Treasurer took to the strategic policy review for a $27 billion tax on 300,000 family and small businesses. We're getting on with the job of growing the economy. Those opposite, if they ever got the chance, would put higher taxes on all Australians.
