We will continue to fight for the working families of Australia and to ensure that families of Australia have the best possible opportunity to get ahead. On our economic agenda, including our plan to ensure Australian businesses are not disadvantaged compared to businesses in other parts of the world, we'll help ensure that there is more investment, that there are more jobs and, as we have more jobs and there's more competition for workers, that there'll be higher wages. I can assure the Senate that this government will continue to fight for the working families of Australia. Nine out of 10 working Australians work in a private sector business.

The Labor Party wants to keep disadvantaging Australian businesses. The Labor Party wants to keep Australian businesses at a disadvantage when it comes to competition with businesses in other parts of the world. The Labor Party is quite happy to put investment and jobs at risk and it will stand condemned for it.
