Ms CAMPBELL (Moreton) (13:52): Today there are three very special little visitors to the gallery: my niece, my nephews and my niece. They're just up there. And what an appropriate time for us to talk about what we do in this place and what the Labor government is delivering for Australians.

Given that it's their first visit to Canberra, and their first visit to Parliament House, what greater day to visit than the day before 1 July. On 1 July—tomorrow—your mum and dad, along with every other taxpayer in this country, will get a tax cut. Tomorrow, if your parents or your friends' parents want to expand your family, they will be able to access 26 weeks of paid parental leave.

Tomorrow, the first National Environmental Protection Agency will roll out and come into effect so that the environment that you will live and work and raise your families in will be protected. Tomorrow, people who work at early childhood centres as educators and workers—the people who look after you every day—will get that 4.75 per cent pay rise. We welcome you to this House.

Our job is to make your life better, and even though we live in a challenging time, your future is very bright.
