Mr TURNBULL (Wentworth—Prime Minister) (14:41): The claim the honourable member made about Caboolture Hospital is completely and absolutely false. It is another one of those Labor lies that are being peddled around Longman, and it says a lot about the character of the Labor Party that it is prepared to tell such lies. As I described a moment ago, funding from the Commonwealth for public hospitals in Queensland is increasing every year and, in particular, to the metro north part of Brisbane, which is where Caboolture Hospital is to be found. Under Labor's alternative proposal on tax, this is what would happen: a Queensland police sergeant would pay, in 2024-25, $1,253 more tax under Labor; a New South Wales senior school teacher— Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Sydney has been warned. Mr TURNBULL: would pay $1,800 more tax under Labor; a coalminer working for BHP would be paying $4,061 more tax; and a South Australian police superintendent would be paying $6,204 more tax under Labor. The honourable member asked about nurses. A school nurse in Victoria would be paying $2,840 more tax under Labor. That is the difference: Labor has abandoned hardworking middle Australia. It seeks to describe people with the occupations I've mentioned as 'the top end of town' or 'millionaires'. These are the hardworking Australians who are aspiring to get ahead; and, over time, Labor wants them to move into higher and higher tax brackets so that more of the money they earn through their hard work will go to the government. But we respect their aspiration. We're not mystified by it. We want those hardworking families to get ahead and keep more of the money they earn.
