Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Leader of the Government in Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:13): No. The one thing I can absolutely, 100 per cent guarantee you is that Mr Costello, a giant of Australian politics—arguably the greatest Treasurer of all time—is not a socialist. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator CORMANN: What I also can tell you about Mr Costello is that he is opposed to Labor's high-taxing, high-spending agenda, because Mr Costello, like every single person on this side of the chamber, knows that Labor's agenda would have hurt the economy and cost jobs and, indeed, it would have left every Australian family worse off. We will continue to stick to our sensible, balanced plan to build a stronger economy to ensure that the Australian economy is as resilient as possible. Just because the Labor Party can't get their socialist agenda up, it doesn't mean that our plan for lower taxes, more infrastructure, more free trade agreements and low electricity prices is not a plan that will make the economy stronger. Of course it will. The PRESIDENT: Order! There was a little too much noise during that answer. I'll call Senator Watt when there's silence. Senator Watt.
