I would never do something like that—to display a visible slogan. I would encourage people to go to the coalition's plan to put Australians first. I would encourage Australians to go to page 26 of this document. It is a very thorough document. This document outlines our plan to reduce government debt and also to have better government. That is something I think all Australians want. They do want a better government. They don't want this prime minister, who's rarely in the same room as truth. They want a government who understands that there is a huge crisis out there at the moment. There is a cost-of-living crisis, and it is being driven along by excessive government spending.

In the 31-minute speech of the Treasurer, whose political heroes are Wayne Swan and Paul Keating—heaven help us!—the government has realised that this treasurer is going to go down as the worst treasurer this country has seen because of the trillion dollars of debt, and they have no plan. This is the point that I'd ask those who are listening to remember: this government has no plan to pay down the trillion dollars of debt. The coalition do have a plan. They do have a plan to fix the economy and to protect our way of life, because Australia is worth fighting for, and we've got to get rid of this government to make it a better place. (Time expired)
