Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:11): I'm asked by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, of all people, about tax policy and about consistency—the person who stood up before we had even announced our new tax policy and said: 'We will fight this legislation in the parliament. We don't even know what it will look like. We'll fight them on the beaches.' It was Churchillian. They'll fight it on the beaches until the tide changes. Then their commitments just got washed away in a week. She said, 'When this legislation hits the parliament, we will fight it, we will fight it all the way. I'm digging in along with my colleagues and our leader, Peter Dutton, to fight this fight.' They weren't just fighting it; they were fighting this fight 'really, really hard'—not just hard but really, really hard. Ms Plibersek interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will pause and the minister for the environment will cease interjecting so I can hear from the manager on a point of order. Mr Fletcher: Mr Speaker, the question was about a promise of a $275 reduction in energy prices, no changes to super taxes and no— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. I remind the manager, who should know of all people, that, when you get the call—I know it's the second day back—you've got to state the point of order. Obviously, that was about relevance, and he was getting to that point, but you simply can't get up and restate the question. You'll get the call. Just simply state the point of order, and you can make your point. If that happens again, people will not get the call. I'm not having question time like that. The Prime Minister was asked a fairly broad question, and I'm just going to ask him to return to the question. He's entitled to make some commentary or to quote, but I can't hear what he's saying. So, if everyone can just not make as much noise, question time will go a lot smoother. Mr ALBANESE: I was asked about tax policy and about consistency, and the Leader of the Opposition, of course, was asked on the Today show if we walked away from the principles of stage 3. Absolutely not. The deputy leader was asked, 'Will you roll back whatever changes are made?' She said, 'Well, this is our position—this is absolutely our position!' Absolutely! The same figures and the same term I used when supporting working Australians getting a dollar an hour increase. But today, of course, we have a different position again. In spite of the fact they were really, really going to fight it—they were going to fight this fight—what we saw yesterday was a different position again. The deputy leader was asked how they were going to pay for new changes, and she said this, 'You wouldn't expect me to pull out one ingredient or one part of tax reform, so I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to play the,"Yes, this is good; no, this is bad"—the rule in, rule out. I'm not going to do that.' She actually said that! She actually said that. What we know from Senator Hume—it pays to look at their shadow ministry— Mr Pasin interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Barker is warned! Mr ALBANESE: She said this: We know that Labor did not cause the war in Ukraine, which has fed into high energy prices. We know that they didn't cause COVID, which induced the supply chain problems that we're seeing right around the world. The things that cause inflation are not of Labor's making. That's what Senator Hume said. She then went on to say: The Australian people look to their government to help them through a crisis. That is what we are doing through our tax changes. (Time expired) The SPEAKER: I will just remind the House that we have the members for Page, Barker and Fisher on warnings.
