Well, I think the attitude today of those in the chamber on the other side says it all. As the Leader of the Government in the Senate has stated, even though the Australian people voted overwhelmingly on 18 May to endorse the tax plan that we took to the election, those on the other side continue to oppose it. They remain the greatest risk to jobs in this country. They took to the election a plan to tax Australians a further $387 billion. Imagine the effect on jobs if that plan had been allowed to go through. But it isn't, it won't, because the Australian people voted against the Labor Party's plan for higher taxes and they endorsed the coalition's plan in full, all three stages of our policy, to give Australians back more of their own money.
