I withdraw. Have a great day, Senator Bragg!

Getting back to the context of the matter—I am having too much fun, clearly—we will not allow those opposite to lecture us on honesty and transparency. This is a modest and meaningful change that has come before the government, which was elected by the Australians as a responsible government to fix up the mess that we were left with, a trillion dollars in debt. And not only that, there was a decade of delay, denial, destruction—that is, triple-Ds on your report card—but debts in the trillions as well. I don't think your parents would be happy. Stop blaming COVID for your poor policy choices. You had a decade. What did you do?
