Well, I'd reflect on some of the comments from those opposite. I'm making the point—I'll bring it back to the topic—that it is incredibly important that those opposite vote for these tax cuts because they're better for Australian women. We know that's difficult for them—and that's the point that I'm making—because they have a problem with women, as their own senior members say. The former head of the Public Service in Australia went on the television and said the former Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, never valued women's perspectives.

The worst thing about all of this, Mr Deputy Speaker, is that it's never about the Australian people, never about good economic policy; it's always about the politics—as member after member from the former Liberal horror show went on television and told the Australian people. The only thing worse, of course, than the former Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison governments are the leftovers, those who are left behind who still hate each other and are an incoherent rabble. As I said, the quotes I read out are directly relevant to the question. Who knows how they'll vote? Their shadow Treasurer and deputy leader are busily saying, 'We don't support tax cuts for low- and middle-income earners; we'll roll them back at the next election,' while the leader tries to say, 'We'll vote for them but we don't support them.' It's an incoherent, inconsistent, nonsense position. I encourage them to get with the program and vote for Labor's tax cuts.
