My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that this government has previously told Australians to get ahead, to get rich parents or to get out of town? Just yesterday, he told a 60-year-old aged-care worker to get a better job. Is this sort of snobbery why the Prime Minister's giving an investment banker a tax cut of $7,000 a year and an aged-care worker a tax cut of $10 a week? Just how arrogant and out of touch can this Prime Minister get?

Again, nothing better sums up the character of the modern Labor Party than the dishonest question just asked by the honourable member.
