Senator, you know that there is no intention, no way, in which that would occur. I would say this to you: it says something, doesn't it, that the best they can do with a tax package in front of the Senate is not to argue about the tax package but to make up some other tax arrangements to run a scare campaign on. I mean, that is all you have left, Senator Canavan. That is all you lot have left, baseless scare campaigns, because you don't know what you stand for and you don't know who you represent.

When the coalition has voted five times against tax cuts through the life of the Albanese Labor government and is now gearing up to vote against tax cuts again, I think Australians know that you do not know who you represent, and all you have left is baseless scare campaigns, and the pundits can see through it.
