These are real Australians who are telling you—I can see some nods in the gallery; they get it. Those opposite really don't want to hear this, but you should hear it. Andrew Brown contributed:

Increase the tax free threshold significantly you you REALLY want to give Australian workers a tax break.

That's an endorsement for the tax-back guarantee that we announced on budget in reply night. There are other contributors:

… the comedy act continues.

It's gotten to the point that the Prime Minister of this country is regarded as a joke. While we're talking about jokes, there's a whole theme that comes through the comments:

April fools was a couple of months ago.

It's 1 July, and they're thinking, 'Maybe he's talking about 1 April.' Then I found some support for the Prime Minister's position. Bobby Bingham said:

$5 ! sweet that provides financial relief.

Then I realised that actually he was being sarcastic. I wasn't great at English lit, but this is my personal favourite. Geordie Askew said:

We all feel like Oliver.

Please sir, can I have some more?

And that's the point for those opposite. Those opposite listen to a prime minister during question time who's saying, 'We're here to help.' But the people in the galleries, Australians, are saying, 'If this is helping, can you please do us a favour and just stop.' It's not help if it actually hurts.
