Every single one of us in this place, as leaders, should be working hard to ensure that Australians pay less tax. But it is a reality, and it's a very sad reality, that only a coalition government, not those on the other side, are committed to tax cuts for Australians. We will do everything that we can to ensure that Australians are able to keep more of their hard-earned money. As I said, it's their money and we want them to keep more of it so that, again, they can go out and spend this money on retail, on buying goods and services, at restaurants and at local businesses and stimulate economic activity, and we're achieving this aim. By 2024-25, 94 per cent of Australians will pay a marginal tax rate of less than 32.5 per cent, but you only get that under the Turnbull government. (Time expired)
