This amendment speaks to an increase from one per cent to five per cent. It follows the same rule and method as the Labor Party. You could think of it as an increase from one per cent to five per cent in unemployment or maybe a 20 per cent to 40 per cent increase in costs. Everything the Labor Party do, every suggestion they make, is an increase in costs to the working families of Australia, an increase in the probability that working families of Australia will lose their job, an increase in costs for farmers in Australia. It is the complete obstruction and letting go of pensioners in Australia, and you should be disgusted in yourselves. (Time expired)
