Again, Mr President, this is what you get from Labor: nothing more and nothing less than actually politicising events in which this government is working on the ground with the New South Wales government and the Queensland government. This government will stand by Australians every step of the way.
Senator Sheldon, if I took you through on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis, I could assure you that this is a government that does back Australians every single step of the way. This is a government that believes in the resilience of the Australian people. This is a government that, faced with a global pandemic, has ensured that we took those decisions that would protect both Australia and Australians, whether it was JobSeeker, JobKeeper or the health response. When it comes to the devastating floods, we are again working with the affected people on the ground to ensure that they get the support their require.
