Graham Perrett (Moreton, Australian Labor Party) | Hansard source

Could I say happy Valentine's Day on this lovely day. Even though my valentine of the last 32 years is about 4,000 kilometres away, where would I rather be than here with my colleagues! And happy Valentine's Day because isn't it lovely that, from 1 July this year, every single Australian taxpayer will receive a tax cut. Australians know in their hearts that this is the right decision at the right time, made for all the right reasons, because it's no bed of roses out there at the moment. Labor's tax cuts are direct and effective cost-of-living support for Australians. Whether they've got a broken heart or a loved one at home, we know that in these tough times the Albanese Labor government is responding to the pressure that Australians are under right now.

Under the Morrison government tax plan, nearly three million Australian taxpayers did not receive that tax break. So they would be broken hearted. We know that the benefits particularly flowed to the city rather than the bush, so I'm sure that the National Party would be on board with our plan to make sure that the bush is looked after. I know, from doorknocking in my electorate over the last few weeks, everyone is positive about our plan to reward those 13.6 million Australians.
