As I rise to speak on this motion, I welcome the fact that the coalition is finally talking about the economy rather than fighting amongst themselves. Unfortunately, what Australians are hearing from those opposite is not a serious economic plan; it's a collection of slogans. Those opposite talk about lower taxes, but, when the government delivered tax cuts for Australian workers, they voted against them. They talk about responsible economic management, but they left behind a trillion dollars of debt, large deficits, high inflation and a decline of real wages.
