The Albanese Labor government's tax cuts overwhelmingly support regional Australians. For example, 86 per cent of taxpayers in western New South Wales will get a bigger tax cut under Labor's plan from 1 July. In Far North Queensland, 87 per cent of taxpayers will get a bigger tax cut. In regional Victoria, 87 per cent of taxpayers will get a bigger tax cut. The vitally important workers of nurses, teachers, retail assistants, labourers, truckies and agricultural workers that live in regional Australia are some of the most likely to benefit. We recognise the contribution of these workers to our nation and to their local communities. Around 1.2 million people in Western Australia will get a bigger tax cut on 1 July under Labor's new tax cuts plan than under the former government's. Around 100,000 people in the NT will get a bigger tax cut on 1 July. I'm going to run out of time, but I've got more to come. (Time expired)
