Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (14:08): I will respond by making reference to Professor Peter Collignon, an infectious diseases expert, who has said this about the Leader of the Opposition's plan: 'This is a bad idea'. This is a bad idea. He's joined by so many, including the Journal of the American Medical Association, which said: Financial incentives are likely to discourage vaccination (particularly among those most concerned about adverse effects); instead, contingent nonfinancial incentives are the desired approach. Unlike the opposition leader, I have confidence in the Australian people. The Leader of the Opposition's proposal is a vote of no confidence and an insult to Australians, suggesting they won't get vaccinated unless you dole out the cash! That is an insult. That is an insult to every Australian. Those 80 per cent of older Australians who've turned up and rolled up their sleeves—they didn't need the cash. They just needed to know that it was good for them, it was good for their family, it was good for their community and it was good for their country. We know that, under Labor, you and your money are easily parted. That is the fiscal record of the Labor Party. We know that this plan is a bubble without a thought, which is what we have become used to from this Leader of the Opposition—bubbles without thoughts. He hasn't bothered to speak to General Frewen or to seek a meeting with General Frewen. He cancelled his meeting even yesterday. Mr Albanese interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition, on indulgence. He did use an unparliamentary term. Mr Albanese: The Prime Minister knows full well there's a scheduled meeting with General Frewen on Thursday, which is the first time it's been proffered. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition just needs to withdraw the remark and resume his seat. Mr Albanese: I withdraw the unparliamentary term. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister has the call. Mr MORRISON: If the Leader of the Opposition had bothered to inform himself of the significant work that had been done on these issues regarding incentives then he would not have rushed headlong into this proposal, which says Australians need to be paid cash to turn up and protect themselves, their communities and their families. I know what Australians have done over these past 18 months. I know the sacrifices they have made. They haven't done it to get the cash; they've done it because they know what has been necessary to get them, their communities and their families through. Over these years in opposition, this Labor Party have learnt absolutely nothing. The cash splashes of their last untargeted, ill-disciplined fiscal recklessness are writ large again in this Leader of the Opposition. Under Labor, you and your money will be easily parted with the undisciplined, untargeted, ill-informed spending of the Labor Party— (Time expired)
