Let us do a quick compare and contrast. This government, unlike those on the other side, removed unnecessary taxation burdens which were a handbrake on growth and the Australian economy. What did those on the other side do when they were in office? They imposed the carbon tax on the Australian economy. They imposed the mining tax on the Australian economy. And what we also know is this. If they are ever re-elected, if the Australian people thought the carbon tax was bad last time, wait till you see the size of the next carbon tax that those on the other side have—the carbon supertax.

We have also set ourselves a target of red-tape reduction of $1 billion a year, and we are exceeding that target. We are also working with employers to get people into sustainable employment. We are focused on outcomes. This is a government that has a plan to grow the economy and grow jobs. Those on the other side just want to stifle it. (Time expired)
