This election is a choice between Labor’s plan to keep building or Peter Dutton’s promise to cut.
The world has thrown a lot at Australia, but thanks tothe strength and resilience our people have shown,our nation is turning the corner.
Your vote has never been more important and your choice has never been clearer.
At this election, it’s all in your hands: your job, your wages, your child’s education and your Medicare.
Only Labor will make you better off in the next three years.
Only Labor will help with cost of living, keep wages growing, take 20 per cent off your student debt and cut taxes for every taxpayer.
Only a vote for Labor is a vote for stronger Medicare.
The biggest-ever investment in bulk-billing.
Cheaper medicines, capping the cost of a PBS script to no more than $25 and freezing the cost forpensioners at just $7.70.
Opening 50 new Medicare Urgent Care Clinics in the suburbs and regions on top of the 87 we’ve alreadygot up and running.
A re-elected Labor Government will take another $150 off your power bill.
We’ll deliver better and cheaper child care for every family - and fair funding for every school.
We’ll make free TAFE permanent.
Greater opportunity for women as a fundamental economic and social priority.
Building Australia’s future is about training more tradies to build more homes and helping more young Australians to buy a home.
Meeting the challenge of climate change by seizing the opportunities of renewable energy.
Building Australia’s defence and security andrebuilding our relationships.
And with it more important than ever for Australia to stand on our own two feet, only Labor is building an economy where we make more things here.
An economy defined by fair wages for hard work - where people earn more and keep more of what they earn.
The biggest risk to Australia’s future is not what is happening around the world – it’s going back to the failures of the past. Australians remember the Coalition’s wasted decade all too well.
Today, because of Australians’ hard work, inflation is down, real wages are up, unemployment is low, interest rates are falling, and we’re cutting taxes for every taxpayer, again.
In challenging times, we have laid strong foundations.
We want to keep building - the Liberals and Nationals just want to start cutting.
And when Peter Dutton cuts, Australians pay.
We live in the best country on Earth – we do not need to copy from any other nation to make Australia even better.
We only need to trust in our values, and back our people.
Serving you as Prime Minister is the greatest honour of my life. What drives me is the determination to build a future worthy of the people of Australia.
In an uncertain world, this is a time for building on our nation’s strengths. Building our security and prosperity. Building an Australia where no-one is held back and no-one is left behind.
On May 3, vote Labor so we can keep building Australia’s future, together.
