The contrast for Australians now between the coalition government and those on the other side has never been starker. We, the coalition government, have delivered income tax relief to the Australian people. The contrast is this: Labor have openly said that they will go to the next election campaigning for higher taxes. The coalition under Mr Turnbull continues to back businesses with lower taxes, because we know this will generate more investment and allow businesses to grow. And when you allow businesses to grow, as Senator Cormann has said so many times, they will create more jobs. But Mr Shorten and Labor fight us every single step of the way. They don't seem to understand that a business that has to close employs no-one. Like most, we're delighted to see that Mr Albanese is finally talking some sense. If only he could now, though, convince those on the other side to support our business tax cuts. (Time expired)
