When you're talking about spending, which is what the question went to, and the coalition say that there's too much spending, they've got to say what it is that they'll cut—what it is that is wasteful. The Leader of the Opposition actually said what she thinks is wasteful when she spoke about the 'culture of dependency'. So, for all those people, your wages are welfare and your job is a cop-out, according to those opposite. We've heard it all before. They wanted to sack 46,000 public servants at the last election. They wanted people to stop working from home. We on this side want people to earn more, and we want people to keep more of what they earn.
