Do you know why? Because, unlike the Rudd and Gillard Labor governments, which panicked and blew the budget and weakened the Australian economic and fiscal position to this day compared to what it would have been, we know the importance of sticking to the plan. We will stick to the plan, which we know will build a stronger and more resilient Australian economy into the future. We will not be panicked. We will not be pushed around by Labor, who still can't get used to the fact that the Australian people rejected their high-taxing, high-spending, anti-business, anti-aspiration, socialist agenda at the last election.
