Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:00): Let's go through the commitments we made. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Put those props down. It is so childish. Those props will not surface again, or they will be handed in immediately to the attendants. Mr ABBOTT: Let's just go through the commitments that were made: that we would repeal the carbon tax, that we would stop the boats, that we would build the roads of the 21st century and that we would get the budget back under control. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I know this is Thursday, but there will be silence for the Prime Minister's answer. Mr ABBOTT: The carbon tax is gone, but the compensation stays, and every family is $550 a year better off. Mr Champion interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Wakefield! Mr ABBOTT: The boats have stopped, and that means that hundreds of people are no longer dying at sea. The roads are building, and that means that millions of Australians will not be wasting so many hours of every day and week in traffic jams. And the task of budget repair is well and truly underway. But it is being sabotaged at every turn by the Leader of the Opposition. Mr Albanese interjecting— Ms Owens interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Grayndler and the member for Parramatta! Mr ABBOTT: The Leader of the Opposition is someone who is trashing our country to help himself. That is exactly what he is doing. And it is unworthy of him, it is unworthy of the party he leads, and it is unworthy of great Labor leaders like Bob Hawke and Paul Keating—with whom this side of the parliament had many disagreements, but one thing they would never do is shirk taking the difficult but necessary decisions to give our country the fiscal foundation it enjoyed up until 2007.
