Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (14:26): Our budget, which is a plan to secure Australia's recovery from the global pandemic, from the global recession, is all about increasing the number of people in jobs. It is all about increasing the ability for Australians to earn more in this country and to keep more of what they earn. In this budget we are delivering, once again, lower taxes for Australians, lower taxes for small- and medium-sized businesses, who, from 1 July, will be paying 25 per cent right across the board—businesses up to $50 million. Lower taxes means more money in the pockets of Australians to invest in the things that they want to put their minds to. What people can take home because of lower taxes, what people can take home because of a strengthening economy, what people can take home because of the fact that they are in jobs in an economy where, if you look around the world, you see that there is no advanced country that can speak of there being more jobs after the pandemic than there were before the pandemic— Opposition members interjecting— Mr MORRISON: But what I am concerned about, as the Treasurer just highlighted, is what we heard from the Labor Party today in their silence, in not being able to say that they won't increase taxes— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will pause. The question was not about any alternatives; it was a specific question about the budget. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr MORRISON: Our budget is about lower taxes. That is what our budget is about. A Labor budget, particularly one when he is in the habit of copying from the member from Maribyrnong— The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business on a point of order? Mr Burke: The question is about the impact of the budget on wages. It is not about alternatives or taxes; it is about wages. The SPEAKER: Yes, that's right. The question was about real wages. It had a tag at the end, but that tag doesn't allow the Prime Minister to talk about alternative policies or members of the opposition. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr MORRISON: Thank you, Mr Speaker. The budget is indeed about wages—the wages of Australians in work. Under this government, there are more people in work today than before the pandemic. The unemployment rate is lower than when we came to government. Our budget is about driving that unemployment rate down, and that will be achieved by the policies of the Liberal and Nationals, not the co-opted policies of the member for Maribyrnong carbon-copied onto the Leader of the Opposition. The SPEAKER: No; the Prime Minister will resume his seat.
