As I said yesterday, we were clear about our tax policies that we took to the election, and we are implementing them. I'll address tax more generally. We won't be taking your policies of higher personal income taxes, the abolition of the production tax credits, the abolition of the EV concession or the abolition of build to rent. You also wanted higher student debts, bigger mortgages for people, higher power bills, more expensive training and higher childcare fees. That was your policy, which was all about increasing taxes and increasing cost on millions of Australians. You put it out there, people had a look at it, and you know what they said? They said, 'We don't like that. We don't like your plan,' which was to increase taxes. We have our tax plan. We went to the election with it. That's the tax plan that we will implement.
