Deputy Speaker, you should always listen to the speeches of the minister opposite, because sometimes it's not about what they say but what they choose not to say. In that 10 minutes, the minister chose not to defend or mention the disastrous budget handed down by the Treasurer. He didn't want to talk about those changes, although he did talk about competition and he did talk about dynamism.

So let's talk about the tech sector. The tech sector is fundamental to driving competition in this country. The tech sector is fundamental to creating start-ups and creating competition in this country. However, the budget changes passed by this government will cripple the tech sector. And don't just take don't take my word for it.
