Australia is actually the country of the fair go, and, by any measure, inequality has not worsened in recent years. If you look at all of the credible data, it will show you that the level of inequality has not increased in the ways proposed by some. We believe in equality of opportunity. We believe people in providing people with the incentives to be the best they can be—because that is how they contribute to the overall success of our country—and in creating the best possible opportunity for everyone across Australia to get ahead.
