Mr GOODENOUGH (Moore) (16:06): The Morrison government certainly is representing the interests of all Australians by focusing on the lives and welfare of, and opportunities for, the people of Australia. We are getting on with the job and delivering what matters to everyday Australians by implementing plans to create up to 1¼ million new jobs over the next five years, by maintaining budget surpluses and paying down Labor's debt, by delivering tax relief for families and small businesses, by guaranteeing increased investment for schools, hospitals and roads, and by keeping Australians safe and our borders secure. Australia is arguably the best country in the world in which to live, work and raise a family. As the Prime Minister is fond of saying, in Australia, if you have a go, you'll get a go. The government has legislated tax relief for 10 million working Australians, ensuring that they keep most of what they earn. By the time our tax plan is fully implemented over five years, 94 per cent of taxpayers will pay a top marginal rate of no more than 30c in the dollar. This rewards and encourages work. Tax relief means families can get ahead and more money flows through our economy. The government has also lowered taxes for 3.4 million small and medium businesses across the nation, which employ over seven million Australians. This will help create more jobs. With a stronger economy, the Morrison government is delivering more funding for schools, with an extra $37 billion over a decade, which represents an average 62 per cent funding increase per student. In our hospitals the government's new five-year agreements will deliver an extra $31 billion to our health system. Since 2013, more than 2,100 new medicines worth over $10.6 billion have been subsidised under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. These medications help people who are suffering from cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. The Morrison government has taken action to lower electricity and childcare costs. We're investing a record $100 billion in congestion-busting infrastructure ranging from major roads and rail projects to commuter car parks. These projects will create jobs and ensure families get home sooner. The Liberal-National coalition government is taking tough action against law-breaking unions, whose bullying and intimidation delay infrastructure and hurt small business and our economy. In rural and regional areas, the Morrison government is delivering practical help for drought-affected farmers. New legislation is also stopping activists from threatening farming families. In terms of protecting the environment, we're taking action to ensure we recycle plastic rather than shipping it overseas or dumping it. A stronger economy is the key to creating more and better-paying jobs. It is the key to keeping Australians safe and being able to pay for essential services. Australia's gross domestic product is growing at a rate of 2.3 per cent—stronger than the OECD average and all of the G7 economies except the United States. The coalition's 2013 election promise for one million new jobs to be created within five years was delivered ahead of schedule, with more than 1.3 million Australians in jobs since this government was elected. Nearly 60 per cent of these have been full-time jobs. The Morrison government is investing in skills. A $525-million Delivering Skills for Today and Tomorrow program will fund up to 80,000 new apprentice places in areas of skills shortage and provide the groundwork to deliver stronger skills well into the future. The government invested over $3 billion into the vocational education and training sector in 2018-19. Labor went to the last election with an agenda to increase taxes on retirees, housing, income, investments, family businesses, electricity and cars. Labor has learned nothing. The opposition continues to put politics ahead of Australia's national interests. Labor can't be trusted to manage our $1.9 trillion economy. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr Andrews ): I thank the member for Moore. This debate has concluded.
