Penny Wong (SA, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Foreign Affairs) | Hansard source

This government's focus and this prime minister's focus is on doing what is needed to make change that benefits Australians. We are focused on how we can benefit Australians at a time when we know many Australians are doing it tough. There are many areas where we know policy change is needed, and that is why we are acting. We are acting when it comes to wages. We are acting when it comes to energy prices. We are acting when it comes to tax. I remind you, Senator, that you are setting up to again vote for higher taxes for working people. I remind you of that—that you are again setting up to vote for higher taxes for working people. So, unlike those opposite, who want higher taxes for working people and want to lock more Australians out of the housing market, we on this side want to deliver real change, and we will.
