00:00 This is about a tangible benefit for more people to help with the cost of living.
00:04 We shouldn't lose sight of that.
00:05 Still, you must be buoyed by the polls today on tax cuts.
00:08 It kind of smoothed the way, does it not, for negative gearing changes?
00:12 Well, I don't see it that way, Carl, the second half of your question.
00:16 But on the first half of your question, you know, it's been really obvious even before
00:20 the polls overnight.
00:23 As I moved around the country over the course of last week, speaking to steel workers and
00:26 early childhood educators and health care workers and plumbers and sprinkler fitters,
00:32 that there's a lot of support for what we're proposing here.
00:34 And that's because we're doing the right thing for the right reasons in the interests of
00:38 the people.
00:39 So the polls and the pundits, they will take care of themselves.
00:42 This is really about a tangible benefit.
00:44 It's about a cost of living tax cut for more people to deal with the pressures that we
00:48 know they're under.
00:49 The negative gearing rumours persist nonetheless.
00:51 Well, not because of us, Carl.
00:54 I understand we'll get asked about other tax changes from time to time.
00:59 But the reason our opponents want to focus on that, they want to focus on what we're
01:02 not proposing because they can't defend their position on what we are proposing.
01:06 What we are proposing is a bigger tax cut for more people to deal with the cost of living.
01:11 And the opposition's position on that is indefensible and unsustainable.
01:14 And so they want to talk about everything else.
