Scott Morrison (Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) | Hansard source

I completely reject the assertion made by the Leader of the Opposition at the dispatch box. If we still had the same tax rates for personal incomes today that we inherited from those opposite when we were elected to office back in 2013—if we still had Labor's tax rates today and we hadn't embarked on a process of tax reform so Australians can keep more of what they earn—then someone on $90,000 today would be paying more than $50 extra in tax every single week. If we'd kept Labor's tax rates, that's what would have happened. If we'd kept those tax rates, people would be paying higher taxes and higher taxes and higher taxes, because you know what you get from Labor? Higher taxes. That's what we know.
