We must defend Australian values. Speaker Freelander, it's getting late in the day. We want our country once again to be one of opportunity and aspiration. All Australians, especially young Australians, deserve the stability that comes from owning a home. They deserve the opportunity it provides. They cannot do that under Labor with its reckless spending habits. We will reduce financial pressures for families, expand childcare choice and give children the best start in life, not force every family into a universal system. We will fix Labor's bad taxes, including a tax on your home, a tax on your super, and a tax on you and your children's future. We'll get rid of Labor's carbon taxes that are pushing up the costs of food, cars and housing. We know the government must live within its means so Australians have the means to live.
