Mrs GRIGGS (Solomon) (15:44): What we know is that when those opposite were in government they were chaotic and dysfunctional. They were out of touch. That is why the Australian people voted them out. Those opposite were working on gossip and innuendo and focusing on Canberra—that really, really, works; it really resonated with the government. It really resonated with the Australian people! You were out of touch. You did not even know— Mr Bowen: Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. This is another outrageous attack on your good self. We won't stand for it. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Hon. BC Scott ): I thank the member for McMahon for his protection! Mrs GRIGGS: Sorry, Mr Deputy Speaker. I was referring those remarks to the shadow Treasurer, not to you. I think it is quite ironic that they should come in here, particularly the Leader of the Opposition, and put their names to this MPI. The Leader of the Opposition leads a party which, when in government, saw four leadership spills, and he had a hand in every single change of Prime Minister. Yet he comes in here and tries to lecture us about stability, after six years of absolute chaos and dysfunction. Those opposite have the audacity to come in here and lecture us. What a joke! I can't believe it! They talk to us about cost of living pressures. Well, they implemented the carbon tax. We got rid of it. We listened to the Australian people. They did not want the carbon tax. We got rid of the carbon tax. Those opposite come in here and start lecturing us about stability. The Australian people know what we are focused on. We are focused on putting measures in place to protect Australia and to ensure that there is financial stability and security over the long term. The McClure report on Australia's welfare system was released today. The report, which was commissioned in 2013 by the then Minister for Social Services, the Hon. Kevin Andrews, examines the welfare system to make sure that it is sustainable for the future—so that it is efficient and effective for the future. This government is working hard to ensure that Australia will be able to support those who need help, while respecting those who contribute to that support—something which those on that side do not know anything about. The current system has evolved over many decades, and it is complex. Opposition members interjecting— Mrs GRIGGS: Mr Deputy Speaker, do you know what? When they were speaking, we gave them the courtesy of listening. They should give us the same courtesy—particularly the member for Griffith, who is a serial offender and who is not even in her seat. At least when we are not sitting in our seats we give you the courtesy of listening and being respectful—something that you guys know nothing about. Opposition members interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order on my left! If you are out of your seat then you are disorderly if you are interjecting. Mrs GRIGGS: They are an absolutely dysfunctional rabble. The member for Griffith is going to go to her seat. Good. Now you can interject! Ms Butler interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! The member for Solomon has the call and will be heard in silence. Mrs GRIGGS: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. The message is that we on this side actually recognise the importance of having a sustainable welfare system—one that can handle supporting generations into the future. If it were up to the Labor Party, those on the other side, we know from their history that they would empty out the public coffers. Mr Craig Kelly: Again. Mrs GRIGGS: That is exactly right—again. We know that, because they left us with a projected debt of $667 billion. Debt, deficit, chaos and dysfunction is certainly the Labor way. We know that we are providing a sustainable place for everyone in the future. We want to make sure that the welfare system is one that can be sustainable into the future. We have got rid of the carbon tax. We have stopped the boats. They said we couldn't. They said it was a slogan. We have proven them wrong. We cannot risk having those guys back on these benches. Over six Labor budgets, those opposite increased spending by over 50 per cent. (Time expired)
