Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:02): I thank the member for Solomon for her question. Mr Butler interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Port Adelaide! Mr ABBOTT: Undoubtedly, this has been a year of achievement for our country, and it has been a year of delivery for our government. The G20 was an opportunity to showcase Australia to the world, and I congratulate the people of Brisbane for their work in doing precisely that. But not only did we showcase our country to the world but we actually secured pledges on jobs and growth from the 20 largest economies on the globe, which will work to the benefit of people in this country and everywhere. The three free trade agreements that have been finalised with our largest trading partners will set our country up for the future. That means more jobs and higher growth. It is good for consumers and it is good for our exporters. As for this government, we are delivering. The carbon tax repeal delivered. The mining tax repeal delivered. Stopping the boats delivered—delivered in spades. The free trade agreements, about which governments have procrastinated for a decade, delivered. There are big new road projects going ahead. The Green Army is deploying around our country, restoring degraded bush and cleaning up polluted waterways. Mr Snowdon interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Lingiari! Mr ABBOTT: New Colombo Plan scholars are fanning out through our region. And the National Broadband Network is rolling out—only now on realistic timetables and with a realistic budget. Mr Husic interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Chifley! Mr ABBOTT: The great task of budget repair is well and truly underway, notwithstanding constant sabotage from members opposite. And this is not just a matter of ticking boxes; it is about delivering for the people of Australia. The carbon tax repeal means $550 a year in the pockets of the average household. Stopping the boats means that people are no longer dying at sea. New roads mean that people are not wasting hours of their day and their week in traffic jams. Of course there is more to do, but when it comes to some of the most intractable problems our country has faced—the boats and the budget—these problems are now being tackled, with a clarity of purpose and a strength of character that has long been lacking. And we are getting the fundamentals right. Sure, there are challenges, but challenges are things the Australian people always rise to meet. Ms Owens interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Parramatta! Mr ABBOTT: This has been a year when we have been building the foundations, and next year we will build further on them— Mr Perrett interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Moreton! Mr ABBOTT: doing what we were elected to do: build a strong and prosperous economy for a safe and secure Australia.
