We make no apologies, as a Labor government, for wanting to deliver higher wages and real tax relief. Meanwhile, what we know about the coalition is that the shadow Treasurer, Angus Taylor, has said that he's committed to a targeted package of repeals to our workplace relations changes. We know that Senator Cash, as the shadow IR spokesperson, has endorsed the risky New South Wales Liberals' industrial relations platform. We know Senator Cash used to say that our policies would be taking Australia back to the Dark Ages. Senator Cash prefers simpler times when children were chimney sweeps and we had dark, satanic mills. That's the kind of time Senator Cash wants to take us to, and we're going to stop you from doing it.
