I think you haven’t seen anything yet, wait till we get into this campaign and you see more of what we have to offer and you see the government is offering in terms of increasing taxes on prices, when you see the two parties by election day you will see a prime ministerial candidate who will be able to protect and defend our country when the Prime Minister is too weak to do so.

You will see a prime ministerial candidate who is able to make a decision is required to get our economy back on track and to reduce inflation to make sure that we can restore the dream of home ownership, where the Prime Minister has taken a dream away from Australians and I will lead a team into the next election which is experienced and which has the ability not just to clean up Labor’s mass but to implement our positive plan and that is evidence today by what is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Victorians to get this rail link built and it will be built under a coalition government. It will not be built under an Albanese government and that much is obvious to every Victorian and will have more to say the country.
