The message I would give those in the gallery is the message I would give all Australians. This government is 100 per cent focused on easing the cost-of-living burden on Australians. It’s about a better and fairer tax system that reduces the burden on 13 million Australian workers, about getting wages again, about repairing the budget and about lowering the debt and lowering the interest on that debt. That is the approach we take, and we've taken it since we came to government. We will continue that, and where we can afford it, we will give tax back through tax cuts that you voted against. The people in the gallery and around should judge your voting record and the way that you have said no—every single time we have brought reform into this chamber to make life easier for working Australians, you have voted against it.
