Here we go. It's so predictable. I didn't see that interview, but what I would say is that there are challenges in our economy because of 10 years of failure to deal with the challenges—to deal with the energy transition, as one example—and we are playing catch up so that we can seize the opportunities and the jobs and the income that are going to come with that energy transition. We are putting in place legislation that you voted against to get wages moving in this country. You voted against it.

Every single time we put in this place some legislation to improve the lives of working people, you vote against it. You vote against the Housing Australia Future Fund. You vote against the National Reconstruction Fund. You vote against every idea that we bring into this chamber to build a better future for every Australian. You vote no to it, and then you come in here and start pretending that you're on their side. It doesn't add up. (Time expired)
