My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Labor's three-day taxpayer funded talkfest delivered nothing for families—no cut to power bills, no relief at the checkout, no plan to arrest our slide in living standards—but it did open the door to more taxes on Australians' savings, on their superannuation accounts, on small businesses and even on spare rooms in the family home. Why is it that when Labor runs out of money, they come after Australians' hard-earned income and their retirement savings?
