At a time of global instability, of serious challenges in the world and at home, Australians do want their representatives to be serious and to deliver for them. That is why the Australian government is working hard to do just that—to deliver tax cuts for 13 million Australians and to ensure that more people can buy their own home.

What do we see from those opposite? We have the fake outrage from the senator for higher taxes, also known as Senator Hume, who went to the last election promising higher taxes for hardworking Australians. The opposition's outrage is about as real as Mr Wilson's hard-hitting doorstops on social media. Well, he will have to face some real questions if he does want to be Liberal leader. He'll have to come up with some actual answers because right now those opposite don't have any. All they do is seek to divide people and play Australians off against each other. (Time expired)
