I support absolutely all policies of the government. As a proud member of this coalition government, I tell you what: I support every one of them, because the alternative, over on that side, is ever higher and higher taxes; destroying jobs, whether it be in our regions or in our cities; and completely abandoning those people who the Labor Party used to pretend to represent—the working class, people like me who come from relatively low-income backgrounds. The alternative is you mob, and what are your alternative policies? It might be to tax your way to your non-existent 2030 target or to your aspirational 2050 target, but you won't tell us how you will get there. We've made it very, very clear that we will put on the table exactly how we're going to reach our targets. That's why we've been successful to date, and we will continue to pursue those kinds of policies into the future.
