My question is to the Prime Minister. Labor's toxic taxes have been rushed through the parliament. As a result, thousands of Australian women—including widows, divorcees and victims of family and domestic violence—will pay more tax. Can the Prime Minister give Australians a straight answer: how much more tax will widows, divorcees and victims of family and domestic violence pay because of the Treasurer's bungled budget?

The answer is they won't, and we've made that very clear. No wonder they're struggling over there, Mr Speaker. We had a shadow minister, earlier today, speak about abandoning the Liberal Party name. She said:

… I think it's time for the Liberal Party to rebrand itself.

Manager of Opposition Business, on a point of order?

It goes to relevance. The Prime Minister might've addressed, in part, some of the question, but it doesn't give him licence to then go and talk about anything else that he wants. He has to stay on the policy subject matter, and what he was talking about has nothing to do with his failure.

That's not the way to raise a point of order, with extra commentary along the line. The Prime Minister was reading a quote about the opposition. He wasn't asked about the opposition. He did answer the question that he was asked very early in his answer. He was asked how much and he answered that part. I think we can all agree on that. We need to make sure, if he's reading out any quotes, he makes it directly relevant to what he was asked about. He wasn't asked about opposition policy; he was asked about government policy. He can compare and contrast, but we've got to make sure he's being directly relevant, and I'll listen carefully to his answer.

I am comparing and contrasting a government that's determined to make a difference to people. That's introduced tax reform—something that was called for for a long period of time by people inside and outside of this parliament. It stands in stark contrast with the character reference given by his own shadow minister, who said:

Some people think that we're stuck in the past and our policies need to resonate with the Australia of today and the future. So I think it'd be a really good time for us to revisit our values, what we stand for and the way we project ourselves …

She went on to say: 'We need to get some experts in. I just was inspired by Sky News.'

That's the problem; that's not the solution.

Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) | Link to this | Hansard source

That's correct. We have a Liberal Party that isn't liberal, a National Party that isn't national and a One Nation party that wants to divide the nation.
