Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:05): The honourable member understands very well that the jobs of his constituents depend on businesses having the confidence to invest and to employ. He understands that, as do all of our colleagues on this side of the House. I think some of the Labor side understand it too, but they're being dragged off to the left by the Leader of the Opposition. Off he goes with Ged Kearney, seeking to win the by-election in Batman. Everything depends on a strong economy: our ability to pay for health, our ability to guarantee Medicare and our ability to deliver, for the first time, national, consistent, needs based school funding—a massive increase in school funding and, for the first time, consistent so that a school with the same needs in one part of the country will get the same funding as a school in another. Dr Chalmers: Rubbish! Mr TURNBULL: The honourable member opposite calls out, 'Rubbish!' I tell you what was rubbish: the rubbish was when the Labor Party shamelessly appropriated David Gonski's name and claimed that their dog's breakfast of inconsistent, contradictory school funding policies was somehow or other the Gonski model. We accepted David Gonski's recommendations, and that's why he stood with me and the Minister for Education and Training when we announced our schools policy. What we know is that with a strong economy we get more opportunities. Our economic plan that we set out in the budget is delivering that growth: 403,000 jobs, three-quarters of them full time. Overwhelmingly, you're seeing small and medium businesses—the ones that are benefitting from the tax cuts Labor opposed so strenuously and is now committed to rolling back—responding with confidence, offering Australians the opportunity to get started in the workplace. He talks about jobs, or claims to. We delivered jobs: 403,000, the largest number in our history in any given year. That is an achievement of giving Australians the opportunity to get ahead. What does Labor have to offer us? Billions of dollars of taxes—$165 billion of tax imposed on companies, on businesses large and small, imposed on investors and imposed on families. Every dollar of those taxes is designed and determined to crush incentive, discriminate against hardworking Australian businesses and put Australians out of work. (Time expired)
