Thank you very much, Senator Smith. We on this side understand aspiration doesn't just start in the top tax bracket. Those opposite seem to think no people except those in the top tax bracket have any aspirations. Eleven and a half million people get a bigger tax cut compared with what those opposite proposed. What has their response been? Mr Dutton called for an election over the tax cuts. The Liberals said they'd absolutely wind them back. Deputy leader, Sussan Ley, said, 'We will fight this legislation in the parliament.' We know that those opposite just can't bear the fact that we have delivered bigger and fairer tax cuts to Australians, Australians who are under pressure. You talk about it, but we are the ones who are delivering cost-of-living relief.
