Whilst the Turnbull government work on policies that are going to ensure that we're able to create jobs, let's face it: those opposite are out there creating taxes for pensioners. And we saw what occurred yesterday at the Press Club with Sally McManus: the ACTU—widely slammed in the press today, admittedly—calling for a class struggle which pits Australians against one another. Sally McManus of course is one of Mr Shorten's key backers. But yesterday she told the National Press Club:

This is not the country we want. This is not who we are.

But on top of that she spent most of her speech stating that she wants to change the workplace laws because they are broken. She actually bemoaned the workplace laws that were created by the former Labor government—ironically, when the current Leader of the Opposition was the employment minister. On this side of the chamber we understand: get the economic fundamentals right and the economy responds. (Time expired)
