Aspiration sits at the heart of the Australian promise. If you work hard, play by the rules, do your best for your kids and give back to your community, you should be able to build a better life for your family.
That belief was shaped by my own journey. I came to this country as a migrant, grew up in regional Australia, worked as a pilot, a cook and a roustabout, and carried those lessons with me into public life. They taught me that effort matters and that opportunity should never be out of reach.
Today, too many Australians feel that promise slipping away. Families are working harder but falling behind. Our task is to fight for them. We will hold the Government to account for the pressures facing households, and we will offer a clear alternative that restores reward for effort.
An Australia with lower personal income taxes, less red tape and strong communities. An Australia that is safe, confident and full of opportunity. That is the country I believe in and will always stand up for. For now, and for future generations.
