The Labor Party talk a big game in opposition, but their record in government was very different. They talk about secure work, yet the unemployment rate was 5.7 per cent. It's 4.2 per cent today. They talk about wages; real wages were falling when Labor were last in government. They talk about cost of living; electricity prices doubled. They talk about lower taxes; they took to the Australian people $387 billion of higher taxes. This Leader of the Opposition and this Labor Party stand for higher taxes, more spending and a weaker Australian economy.
