Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:11): We've got tax cuts benefiting every Australian worker, cost-of-living relief for every Australian household and real reform for every young Australian who has been locked out of the housing market for too long. There is more to do, but we have achieved that despite the best efforts of the three right-wing parties to block it.

Last week the three right-wing parties voted against tax cuts for every Australian worker, and we know that Senator Hume famously described these tax cuts as 'egregious'. That is hardly surprising when you remember that the Nationals and the Liberals went to the last election promising they would unwind tax cuts for working people—so not only are they now calling tax cuts 'egregious'; had they been elected, they would have ensured they unwound tax cuts for working people.

It is only the Labor Party that is focused on making real change. (Time expired)
