Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I was asked about the last four months and I am going through the last four months, which, I must say, I have had worse four months. I've got to say that, because in the last four months what we've also done is advance the interests of the Australian people who have wanted action on climate change, with a 43 per cent reduction by 2030 when the legislation will be carried. We have been moving forward the debate about climate change, working with business, working with unions and working with civil society.

That's why, as well, we've convened the Jobs and Skills Summit that will occur within four months of that election on 21 May. That's why we also introduced into this parliament—and will carry through both houses—10 days of paid family and domestic violence leave. That's why already we are taking action to implement the recommendations of the aged-care royal commission. That's why we've already made moves on the robodebt royal commission. This is a government that has taken up the mantle, both before and now, of preparing a solid agenda for a government that is forward looking and for a government that actually governs—as opposed to just engaging in cheap, tawdry politics everyday.
