What I would say to Senator O'Neill is: look at this great bunch of people over here. What you can see here is a strong and united team working hard to make Australia stronger, to keep the economy strong, to keep Australians safe and to keep Australians together. And, yes, we will continue to work very hard to ensure that hardworking Australians who work hard all their lives and put money away for their retirement are protected from the onslaught that would come if Mr Shorten became Prime Minister, where he would put his hands into their pockets to fund Labor's reckless spending in government—as he did last time, when he was in government.
