When it comes to low- and middle-income Australians, when it comes to hardworking Australian families, the Turnbull government is the government that stands for opportunity and for helping families to get ahead. We want families across Australia to have the opportunity to have a job and to get a better paid job.

As I said before, these opportunities don't grow on trees; they are provided by successful profitable businesses. Nine out of 10 working Australians work for a private sector business. That is why we're working to help them become more successful and more profitable. Everything that Labor does makes it harder for business to be successful, which means fewer jobs and lower wages; everything that we do is designed to make it easier for business to be successful, which means more jobs and higher wages.
