Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (09:38): Gladys Liu is the elected member for Chisholm because a majority of Australians in Chisholm preferred her and the Liberal Party to the Labor alternative. Her Labor opponent was a member of a number of the same organisations that Labor is now using for its disgraceful, unsubstantiated smear and dog whistling. In fact her Labor opponent was the honorary chairman, seemingly unbeknownst to her, of at least one of those organisations. The truth is: Gladys Liu is a proud Australian and a committed Liberal. She stands for our liberal values of individual freedom, free enterprise, reward for effort, risk-taking and having a go, as the best way to ensure that Australians today and into the future, right around Australia, and in particular in her electorate of Chisholm, have the best possible opportunity to get ahead. Those were the values supported by the people of Chisholm and those were the values supported by the Australian people at the last election who voted for our plan to make Australia stronger and more prosperous and to ensure that Australian families have the best possible opportunity to get ahead. Australians in Chisholm and all around Australia voted against Labor's high-taxing, antibusiness, politics-of-envy, socialist agenda—a socialist agenda which Australians understood would have made our economy weaker and all Australians poorer. The member for Chisholm is a strong advocate for her constituents and a valued member of our team in this parliament. She has the government's full support.
