(—) (): I hear Senator Sterle, a fellow Western Australian, laughing at the question. But the reality for Australians is this: there is a very, very stark choice at the next election: a coalition government, which have in their DNA lower taxes and job creation, or those on the other side, who are proudly wedded to their policies of raising taxes on not just Australian individuals but also Australian businesses. We will continue to deliver our legislated tax cuts. Why? Because we want more Australians to keep their hard-earned money. And, in relation to our small and medium businesses, we want them reinvesting back into their businesses because, when they reinvest, they're able to prosper and grow, and a business that prospers and grows, as we know, creates more jobs for Australians. So the choice at the next election is clear: the coalition government will deliver lower taxes, whilst those on the other side, Bill Shorten and Labor, will deliver higher taxes. (Time expired)
