REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Definition of Slogan

Slogan is a form of delivering information or notifications and slogans usuallywritten in short sentences that are interesting, concise, easy to remember, and persuasivehas the purpose of affirming a thought or principle, even a slogan toois a word or short sentence that is interesting or striking and easy to remember to explain the purpose of an ideology, organization, and political party Alwi (2003: 108).

The same thing was expressed by Haryanto (2006) who defined slogans as phrases oreasy to remember short sentences, used to tell or explain the purposeorganization, class ideology and so on.

Sukini (2005: 162) also added thatslogans are short and persuasivesentences, and the order in the sentence is notas usual.From the opinions and several sources above regarding the definition of slogans, it can be concludedthat slogans are words or short sentences that are interesting or striking and easyremember to tell something and is a tool / media that has a purpose forexplain something to the general public, with the form of slogans that vary from the onewritten until spoken / oral.

A slogan is a memorable motto or phrase used in a clan, political, commercial, religious, and other context as a repetitive expression of an idea or purpose, with the goal of persuading members of the public or a more defined target group.

2.1.1 Slogan in Political Discourse

Kurniawan as cited in Yoce (2009: 1). When someone express ideas, which are necessary pay attention not only language but also understanding. With

5

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA understanding, purpose and the purpose will be conveyed clearly. As for the way that is done for convey that intention can done by bringing up a discourse, both verbally and deeply writing form. Poerwardarmintaas cited in Herawati(1996: 957) divides the meaning of slogans in the fields of trade and politics according to his purpose. In the field trade, the slogan is the motto contains interesting words or sentences, striking, and easy to remember that is used to advertise something. In the field politics, slogans are words or sentences interesting, striking, and easy to remember which is used to explain a purpose political party (ideology, class, organization, etc).

2.1.2 The Carachteristic of Slogan

Pardjimin (2005: 33) explains that the slogan is a group of short words / sentences interesting, striking, and easy to remember to tell the purpose / vision of an organization, activities, groups, organizations or companies. The contents of the slogan describe the vision, goals, and expectations of an activity / organization / company.

A slogan was made to inform something. Words in slogans are arranged in such a way that they can influence readers with the following characteristics. a. His words are short, interesting, and easy to remember In a slogan either in the form of writing or oral, the use of words in it contains short and interesting words that are words in interesting slogans to read. By using word choices, then from the use of short words, someone who sees it will easily remember the writing on the slogan in question. After reading the slogan, the reader can conclude on his own without being explained so can make a means of communication whose purpose is beside education the community can also indirectly make slogans that can be cultivated by the younger generation. b. It is the watchword of an organization or society The slogan besides functioning as a tool / media information and slogan is usually in the form of

6

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA slogan to explain the purpose of a particular organization in the form of words or short sentences that are used as a basis for life guidance. Next is wrong one example of a slogan that contains the motto that we often hear.

2.1.3 Purpose and Function of the Slogan

The aim of the slogan is to spur the spirit of a group (individual) or become an ideal an institution / organization which must then understand the intended audience. Function slogans are for community education, encouraging enthusiasm, and aspirations. Other than that, is an expression, idea or goal that is repeated so that it can be easily remembered by everyone Ministry of National Education (2008: 77).

2.2 Definition of Political Discourse

We have seen that political discourse analysis first of all should be able to define its proper object of study: What exactly is 'political discourse'? The easiest, and not altogether misguided, answer is that political discourse is identified by its actors or authors, viz., politicians. Indeed, the vast bulk of studies of political discourse is about the text and talk of professional

politicians or political institutions, such as presidenta and prime ministers and other members of government, parliament or political parties, both at the local, national and international levels. Some of the studies of politicians take a discourse analytical approach (Carbó 1984; Dillon et al. 1990; Harris 1991; Holly 1990;

Maynard WHAT IS POLITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS? 13 1994; Seidel

1988b). In the USA, especially studies of presidential rhetoric are numerous (see, e.g., Campbell & Jamieson 1990; Hart 1984; Snyder & Higgins 1990; Stuckey 1989;

Thompson 1987e; Windt 1983, 1990). Politicians in this sense are the group of people who are being paid for their (political) activities, and who are being elected or appointed (or self-designated) as the central players in the polity.

7

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA This way of defining political discourse is hardly different from the identification of medical, legal or educational discourse with the respective participants in the domains of medicine, law or education. This is the relatively easy part (if we can agree on what `politics' means).

However, although crucial in political science and PDA as actors and authors of political discourse and other political practices, politicians are not the only participants in the domain of politics. From the interactional point of view of discourse analysis, we therefore should also include the various recipients in political communicative events, such as the public, the people, citizens, the `masses', and other groups or categories. That is, once we locate politics and its discourses in the public sphere, many more participants in political communication appear on the stage. Obviously, the same is true for the definition of the field of media discourse, which also needs to focus on its audiences. And also in medical, legal or educational discourse, we not only think of participants such as doctors, lawyers or teachers, but also of patients, defendants and students. Hence, the delimitation of political discourse by its principal authors' is insufficient and needs to be extended to a more complex picture of all its relevant participants, whether or not these are actively involved in political discourse, or merely as recipients in one-way modes of communication.

There is another complication, which is associated with the very delimitation of the field of politics. Obviously, it is not only official or professional politics and politicians that are involved in the polity. Political activity and the political process also involve people as citizens and voters, people as members of pressure and issue groups, demonstrators and dissidents, and so on (Verba, et al., 1993). All these groups and individuals, as well as their organizations and institutions, may take part

8

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA in the political process, and many of them are actively involved in political discourse.

That is, a broad defmition of politics implies a vast extension of the scope of the term

'political discourse' if we identify such practices by all participants in the political process. Another, but overlapping way of delimiting the object of study is by focusing on the nature of the activities or practices being accomplished by political text and talk rather than only on the nature of its participants. That is, even politicians are not always involved in political discourse, and the same is obviously true for most other participants, such as the public or citizens in general, or even members of social movements or action groups.

This also means that categorization of people and groups should at least be strict, viz., in the sense that their members are participants of political discourse only when acting as political actors, and hence as participating in political actions, such as governing , ruling, legislating, protesting, dissenting, or voting. Specifically interesting for PDA is then that many of there political actions or practices are at the same time discursive practices. In other words, forms of text and talk in such cases have political functions and implications. Although there are many more ways we may approach the problems of definition and delimitation, we may finally take the whole context as decisive for the categorization of discourse as 'political' or not.

Participants and actions are the core of such contexts, but we may further analyze such contexts broadly in tercos of political and communicative events and encounters, with their own settings (time, place, circumstances), occasions, intentions, functions, goals, and legal or political implications. That is, politicians talk politically also (or only) if they and their talk are contextualized in such communicative events such as cabinet meetings, parliamentary sessions, election campaigns, rallies, interviews with the media, bureaucratic practices, protest

9

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA demonstrations, and so on. Again, text and context mutually define each other, in the sense that a session of parliament is precisely such only when elected politicians are debating (talking , arguing, etc.) in parliament buildings ín an official capacity (as

MPs), and during the official (officially opened) session of parliament.

This integration of political texts and contexts in political encounters may of course finally be characterized in more abstract tercos as accomplishing specific political aims and goals, such as making or influencing political decisions, that is decisions that pertain to joint action, the distribution of social resources, the establishment or change of official norms, regulations and laws, and so on. That this domain is essentially fuzzy, hardly needs to be emphasized. What may be clear for official political decision making by politicians at all levels, or even for various forms of political protesters and dissidents, is less clear for the decisions and discourse of, say, corporate managers, professors or doctors in other but overlapping domains of social life. In the sense that the latter' s decisions and practices affect the public at large or large segments of the public, also their actions and discourse become more or less 'political'. WHAT IS POLITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS?

However, in order to avoid the extension of politics and political discourse to a domain that is so large that it would coincide with the study of public discourse in general we shall not treat such forms of discourse-with-possible-political-effects as political discourse. That is, corporate, medical or educational discourse, even when public and even when affecting the life of (many) citizens, will here not be included as forms of political discourse. And although we may readily subscribe to the well- known feminist slogan that the personal is political, we shall similarly not take all interpersonal talk (not even of gender) as political discourse.

10

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA The same is true for the discourses that pertain to the societal realms of 'race' or class. Since people and their practices may be categorized in many ways, most groups and their members will occasionally (also) `act politically', and we may propose that `acting politically', and hence also political discourse, are essentially defined contextually, viz., in terms of special events or practices of which the aims, goals or functions are maybe not exclusively but at least primarily political. This excludes the talk of politicians outside of political contexts, and includes the discourse of all other groups, institutions or citizens as soon as they participate in political events. From our discourse analytical point of view, such a contextual definition at the same time suggests that the study of political discourse should not be limited to the structural properties of text or talk itself, but also include a systematic account of the context and its relations to discursive structures.

2.3. Definition Linguistic Corpus

Author the book Corpus Linguistics: Method, Theory and Practice thedefine the linguistic corpus asa field that focuses onprocedures, or methods of studying, or research languages. McEnery and Hardiealso mentioned the approachused in corpus linguisticswhich was also stated by Tognini Bonelli (2001). Tognini statedthe existence of two corpus linguistic approaches,which is corpus-basedand controlled by corpus (corpusdriven). Both have differencesin seeing the corpus as evidence which supports the theory.

The firstusing a nature approachdeductive. Meanwhile corpus- drivenapproach considers the corpus asevidence that must be a theoretical reference,so it is inductive.he second chapter of this book discusseshow to assess and analyze datacorpus. How to assess and analyzecorpus data can be started from metadata,textual markup, andannotation. Metadata provides informationwho

11

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA produced the text,when, and in what language is the textit was made. Text markers includemarks used in writingthe text itself is like typology, for exampleitalics.

Annotation providesinformation about data linguistic featuresit can be a class of words likeverb, noun, adjective, or adverbial.Another most important thingin the corpus is the availability of toolswhich makes it possible to searcha corpus in a series of unitscertain such words or phrasesdisplayed in line formatvertical, or called concordance.Tools in the form of computer softwareused for concordance growing from generation to generation.The first one uses a computerlarge placed in one locationand only displays KWIC, as wellneed other software to process that others.

The second generation usesPersonal Computer (PC) soeveryone can use it and more data can be obtainedincluded, the program is not onlyusing the KWIC concordance,but it can also be sorted alphabeticallythe left and right context of the wordthatissought,andcandobasic descriptive statistical calculations, just can't identify the word marked.

The third generation can process data bigger via PC, while the fourth generation is based the web. McEnery and Hardie (2003) too discuss the use of statistics inside corpus linguistics. Statistical calculation which can be used to process Corpus linguistic data includes statistics descriptive and significance test for test how possible certain results is a coincidence, for example in calculating keywords and collocation. The third chapter of this book discusses problems faced in make the corpus one of them is a legal problem, especially rights copyright. To enter documents as corpus data need permission to be able to display it on the machine corpus processor, especially when presented on the web. To anticipate that there are several ways, first contact the copyright holder for request permission to use

12

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA documents for corpus processing machines. Second is collecting data without having to asking for permission, with consequences the results are not distributed to another.

In the fourth chapter, the author explained "Linguistic Corpus Language England

"which has been initiated by several universities, including the University College

London, which makes the corpus the largest for comparative studies of variation

English, namely International Corpus of English (ICE).

Lancaster University, pioneered by Leech and Garside (1971), built CLAWS

(Constituent Likelihood Automatic Tagging System) is an annotation system automatic word class. At the University of Birmingham spearheaded by Sinclair make a corpus-based dictionary (Collins COBUILD dictionary).

UniversiteCatholique de Louvain by Sylviane Granger makes International Corpus of

Lerner English (ICLE). The University of Nothingham pioneered corpus oral form of oral grammar in English. At the Northern Arizona University and America the development of the corpus was spearheaded by Biber makes the corpus like

ARCHER (A Representative Corpus of Historical English Registers), AAACL

(American Association of Applied Corpus Linguistics). In addition, LDC

(Linguistics Data Consortium), MICASE (Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken

English), BYU (Brigham Young) and is the linguistic center of the corpus in

America. In the fifth chapter, the author describes corpus-based research synchronous and diachronic variations.

Lots of corpus-based works regarding register variations, between times, and other internal variables. In part diaconic variation works have been carried out by using methodology general intertemporal corpus comparison (diachronic). Instead, research variations synchronically different depending on social variable or register.

Will but, both of them can use quantitative or qualitative methods. The sixth chapter

13

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA of this book describes The Linguistic Corpus Neo Firthian consists of collocation and discourse (discourse).

Collocation shows that an important aspect of the meaning of a word not only contained therein but also depends on other words accompanying it. The way is that by examining the pattern that appears together in the corpus. Discourse Dana

Waskita | Book Review 147 (discourse) refers to the language unit at above the sentence level. Wanaca Analysis Critical (AWK) gives more meaning regarding discourse that discourse is a practice, a characteristic language found in a text group or more broadly in community language. In the chapter this writer also stated that semantic prosody called by Stubb is a concept that comes from concordance based neo-Firthian analysis of collocation. Another thing that concerns Neoithith is lexis and grammar which includes the principles of idioms, governance patterns language, and lexical priming. Said also that the corpus is still a debate whether it is considered data or can considered theory .

In this Reaserch in focused use the analysis data use antcontRomer and Wulff

(2010: 10) say that Antconc is wrong one software that makes it easy for collect text in a corpus and helps to analyze phenomena linguistics and capture the points interesting aspects in language.n the seventh chapter, the author presents theoretical linguistic classifications into two, namely functionalism and methodological.

Functionalism investigate language forms, but explain it according to the function of the language used. No language considered an isolated system but something is used

.

The functionalism group always considers the context in researching object of study. In the eighth chapter of McEnery and Hardie (2003) explain the relationship between linguistics and corpus psikolinguistic functionalist. Corps

14

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA relationship with psycholinguistics is a corpus data can be used to test the nature of the language used in exam questions (tests), also in mastery of the second language.

McEnery and Hardie (2003) also explained he difference between linguistic and corpus computational linguistics (computational linguistics). They say the linguistic corpus aims to search the nature and use of language, whereas computational linguistics aims model the nature of language with using a computer.

Other than that, focus on solving technical problems involving language

In general the presence of books this can inspire me to conduct research between linguistics using computer technology. Progress in information technology and computers can work together with science linguistic or linguistic so can help linguistic research more extensive.

2.4 Biography of Scoot Moorison

Scott Morrison, in full Scott John Morrison, byname ScoMo, (born May 13,

1968, Bronte, New South Wales, Australia), Australian conservative politician who became leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister of Australia in August 2018 following a challenge by the right wing of the party to the leadership of Malcolm

Turnbull, who stepped down as party leader and prime minister. After Peter Dutton, who instigated the leadership challenge, was unable to win enough support to succeed Turnbull, Morrison ascended to the premiership as a compromise candidate.

2.4.1 Early Life and Career

Morrison grew up in a devout Christian family in the beachside eastern suburbs of . His father was a police commissioner and who served 16 years on the local council as well as a tenure as the mayor of

Waverly. Morrison‘s political career began at age 9 distributing ―how-to-vote‖ cards

15

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA in support of his father. During his childhood Morrison also acted in television commercials. He attended the prestigious Sydney Boys High before matriculating at the University of New South Wales, where he studied economics and geography.

Following graduation he began working for industry organizations, including the Property Council of Australia. It was in the tourism industry that Morrison made his mark, beginning with a stint at the Tourism Task Force before becoming the general manager of the Tourism Council of Australia (1996–98). In 1998 Morrison and his wife, Jenny—whom he had met through church as a youth and married at age

21—relocated to . There he became the director of the New Zealand

Office of Tourism and Sport (1998–2000), for which he oversaw the hugely successful ―Pure New Zealand‖ tourism campaign.

Returning to Australia, Morrison began his political career by becoming the state director of the New South Wales Liberal Party (2000–04). He guided the party into the 2001 federal election and the 2003 state campaign. Although he was unable to return the Liberals to power in New South Wales, he helped reenergize the party and contributed to the Liberal-National ‘s taking three seats away from the

Labor Party in the federal House of Representatives in 2001.

In 2004 Morrison was appointed chief executive of the newly created

Tourism Australia, the government agency dedicated to attracting foreign visitors to

Australia. In 2006 Morrison oversaw a successful but controversial advertising campaign that hinged on the question ―Where the bloody hell are you?‖ posed in a television commercial by bikini-wearing soon-to-be-famous model Lara Bingle. The campaign was banned in traditional media by the British Broadcast Advertising

Clearance Centre for its use of the word bloody, but that prohibition only served to send curious Britons in search of the Internet version of the ad. Moreover, the

16

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA controversy stimulated the success of the campaign in the U.S. and German markets.

The criticism of the campaign as too risqué was ironic given Morrison‘s devout

Pentecostal faith and socially conservative outlook. Morrison also butted heads with

Tourism Australia‘s governing board and Minister of Tourism , largely because of their perception that his management of the organization lacked transparency. Ultimately, in 2006, he left the post through an ―agreed separation‖ that reportedly came with a big payout for Morrison.

2.4.2 Start in Politics and Ascent to Prime Minister

Morrison turned his attention to elected office in 2007 and sought the Liberal

Party‘s selection as its candidate for the safe seat in the House of Representatives representing Cook, a district in south suburban Sydney. Morrison was soundly defeated for selection, but when his victorious opponent became the target of a mendacious smear campaign and was forced to step down, Morrison was chosen as a unity candidate. He then won the general election. In his maiden speech to the

House, Morrison styled himself as a moderate, invoking the memory of 19th-century

British abolitionist William Wilberforce, celebrating the human rights contributions of South African civil rights leader Desmond Tutu and U2 singer Bono, and nodding to former Prime Minister ‘s formal apology to the Australian Aboriginal peoples.

Seeing Morrison as a kindred moderate, then Liberal Party leader Turnbull appointed him shadow spokesperson for housing and local government in 2008.

When displaced Turnbull as leader in 2009 and pushed the party rightward, Morrison seemingly underwent an ideological conversion and tacked right himself, earning the post of shadow minister for immigration and citizenship, along with an incipient reputation as an ambitious, opportunistic political chameleon. As

17

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA shadow immigration minister, he used the terse advertising-like slogan ―Stop the

Boats‖ to attack the Labor government‘s handling of the waterborne influx of asylum seekers from Indonesian ports. In 2011 Morrison was harshly critical of the government for paying to fly relatives to the funerals of asylum seekers lost in the sinking of a boat near Christmas Island. That stance was greeted with approbation by a number of prominent Liberal Party leaders, but while Morrison apologized for the timing of his response, he did not recant.

As minister for immigration and border control in the that was elected in 2013, Morrison oversaw Operation Sovereign Borders, the military- led effort that sought to halt immigration by turning back into Indonesian waters the small boats carrying asylum seekers or transporting them to detention centres on

Nauru and Manus Island. Although the policy was criticized by human rights groups, it successfully stemmed the tide of illegal immigration. Morrison prided himself on his defense of Australia‘s border, but he also rationalized the draconian approach by arguing that it protected asylum seekers by deterring exploitative smugglers from exposing them to the dangerous journey. In December 2014 Morrison switched portfolios, becoming minister for social services.

Morrison supported Turnbull in the September 2015 ―spill‖ (leadership challenge), in which the former leader regained control of the party from Abbott. His backing of Turnbull earned Morrison the powerful post of treasurer. In that capacity, he both oversaw a robust Australian economy and re-softened his image. True to his religious and social conservatism, Morrison was a prominent opponent of same-sex marriage, but he strategically abstained in the House vote in December 2017 that resulted in legalization. Morrison remained loyal to Turnbull when a challenge was mounted to his leadership of the party in August 2018 by Minister of Home Affairs

18

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Peter Dutton. Turnbull survived one vote on his leadership, but the party‘s right wing was quickly able to compel his resignation. Dutton, however, fell short of the support needed to replace Turnbull as the party turned instead to Morrison as a compromise choice and elected him leader. On August 24 he became Australia‘s 30th prime minister.

2.5 Speech

Speech is human vocal communication using language. Each language uses phonetic combinations of a limited set of perfectly articulated and individualized vowel and consonant sounds that form the sound of its words (that is, all English words sound different from all French words, even if they are the same word, e.g.,

"role" or "hotel"), and using those words in their semantic character as words in the lexicon of a language according to the syntactic constraints that govern lexical words' function in a sentence. In speaking, speakers perform many different intentional speech acts, e.g., informing, declaring, asking, persuading, directing, and can use enunciation, intonation, degrees of loudness, tempo, and other non-representational or paralinguistic aspects of vocalization to convey meaning. In their speech speakers also unintentionally communicate many aspects of their social position such as sex, age, place of origin (through accent), physical states (alertness and sleepiness, vigor or weakness, health or illness), psychic states (emotions or moods), physico-psychic states (sobriety or drunkenness, normal consciousness and trance states), education or experience, and the like.

Although people ordinarily use speech in dealing with other persons (or animals), when people swear they do not always mean to communicate anything to anyone, and sometimes in expressing urgent emotions or desires they use speech as a quasi-magical cause, as when they encourage a player in a game to do or warn them

19

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA not to do something. There are also many situations in which people engage in solitary speech. People talk to themselves sometimes in acts that are a development of what some psychologists (e.g., Lev Vygotsky) have maintained is the use in thinking of silent speech in an interior monologue to vivify and organize cognition, sometimes in the momentary adoption of a dual persona as self addressing self as though addressing another person. Solo speech can be used to memorize or to test one's memorization of things, and in prayer or in meditation (e.g., the use of a mantra).

The writer study many different aspects of speech: speech production and speech perception of the sounds used in a language, speech repetition, speech errors, the ability to map heard spoken words onto the vocalizations needed to recreate them, which plays a key role in children's enlargement of their vocabulary, and what different areas of the human brain, such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area, underlie speech. Speech is the subject of study for linguistics, cognitive science, communication studies, psychology, computer science, speech pathology, otolaryngology, and acoustics. Speech compares with written language,[1] which may differ in its vocabulary, syntax, and phonetics from the spoken language, a situation called diglossia.

The evolutionary origins of speech are unknown and subject to much debate and speculation. While animals also communicate using vocalizations, and trained apes such as Washoe and Kanzi can use simple sign language, no animals' vocalizations are articulated phonemically and syntactically, and do not constitute speech.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA APPENDICES

1. At his victory party in Sydney may 18 2019 "always believed in miracles" as partial results showed the Liberal-National Coalition close to a majority. Opposition Labor Party leader Bill Shorten has announced he is resigning after accepting defeat.Exit polls had suggested a narrow Labor win for the first time in six years. The final result of the election may not be known for some hours, but with more than 70% of votes counted the Coalition has won, or is ahead in, 74 seats in its quest for a 76-seat majority, with Labor on just 66 seats.

"Tonight is about every single Australian who depends on their government to put them first. And that is exactly what we are going to do." also paid tribute to "the quiet Australians" who voted for his coalition. "It has been those Australians who have worked hard every day, they have their dreams, they have their aspirations, to get a job, to get an apprenticeship, to start a business, to meet someone amazing," he said. "To start a family, to buy a home, to work hard and provide the best you can for your kids. To save for your retirement. These are the quiet Australians who have won a great victory tonight!" "I said that I was going to burn for you, and I am, every single day," he added

Top issues in the Australian election included climate change, immigration, jobs and the economy. Morrison's coalition of Liberal and National Parties maintained seats in contested suburbs, while also picking up support across Australia's countryside. In the northeastern state of Queensland, the site of a controversial proposal to build a coal mine, several Liberal Party candidates also won, signifying that jobs are of more importance to Australian voters there than environmental concerns. If the Adani coal mine is built in Queensland, it will be one of the largest in the world.

In a suburb of Sydney, however, the Liberal Party did suffer a setback. Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott lost his race there, where voters are demanding action on climate change.

2 coalition campaign launch

Aren't they fantastic? How good is Mum? How good is Jenny?

Well thank you friends, thank you colleagues. They are the women in my life, I couldn't love them more if I tried and they couldn't love me more if they tried. Happy Mother's Day Mum. Happy Mother's Day Jen and to all the mothers, happy Mother's Day, wherever you are today. Today is a day when our hearts are especially focused on family and of course, our mums. For some, it‘s a very sweet memory. For some today it‘s a painful void for what has been lost or was sadly never there for you. For the fortunate it‘s the warmth of the mum's embrace that simply says; ‗Everything will be all right, I love you‘. Our mums speak of the surety of selfless love, the most powerful thoughts in the universe. My brother Alan and I, we grew up in a loving and very happy family with our parents, Marion and John. Mum and dad have been

52

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA hopelessly devoted to each other and married for 56 years and counting. They actually grew up in the same street. Today mum cares for dad, who was sadly too frail to travel today. But I know dad will be up there listening to us today and be with us here today. We all lived together in a house we shared with dad‘s aunt who owned the house. She invited mum and dad to come and live with her. They had separate flats in a house that they made when they got married. Buying a house has never been easy. My brother and I were still sharing a room together in that house when he was at university and I was at high school. You can imagine how thrilled he was about that.

We went to public schools, like Jenny and her older sister and her brother did. We had great times together in our family. We knew the same disappointments and joys and challenges of so many other families. Not long after I turned one, mum went back to work, juggling all her commitments with a lot of help from family, particularly our grandparents. Mum and dad both had to work hard to give Alan and I the choices they wanted for us in life. They saved, they planned. They sacrificed and they also served. Mum ran the local Girls Brigade at our local church every Thursday and Friday school night, for 45 years.

By the way, dad did the same thing at Boys Brigade the same Thursday and Friday night for 45 Years.

Mum is a woman of great and practical faith, quietly and patiently loving us, always. Life is about what you contribute, not what you accumulate. That's what mum and dad have taught me. It's about serving others, because in life, it's people that matter.

My family story is not uncommon in our country. Australians quietly going about their lives with simple, decent, honest aspirations. Get an education. Get a job. Start a business. Take responsibility for yourself, support others. Work hard. Deal with whatever challenges come your way. Meet someone amazing. I did, there she is, Jenny. Create a life and a family together. Work even harder to support them and give them the choices and hopefully, an even better life than the one that you have. Save for your retirement and your future. Strive, wherever possible, to be making a contribution rather than taking one. Leaving a legacy.

Josh, Bianca and their infant daughter Ruby, are quietly living these aspirations today up in the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. I met them earlier this week. They have just bought their first home in Wauchope. Christopher has just started work up in Gladstone, at Purcell‘s Engineering where his father has been an employee for many years. Gav is just completing his apprenticeship there as a fitter and turner. All working in a family business that Terry and his wife Kym, started 35 years ago - now employing 70 people. I met Mary Anne, she's a local mum, and actually a party member here at Whitehorse in . She went back to work by starting a wedding events business and is now employing other mums doing exactly the same thing, coming back into the workforce. It's a very flexible workforce, that one. Rosalie, I haven't met but she's a 69-year-old retired school teacher who lives on her own in a retirement village in . She saved for her retirement. She doesn't qualify for the pension. She's a self-funded retiree. She has an income of $30,000 a

53

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA year, which includes franking credits of $1,800. She doesn't see it as ‗a gift‘. It's what she's worked hard for and saved hard for, so she can live on it.

You know, often life can throw things at you that can challenge these aspirations. Donna is the mum of 13-year-old Luke Emery. Happy Mother's Day to Donna today. They live in northern together as a family. Luke has cystic fibrosis. He was diagnosed, as most sufferers are, at six months old. Luke is now able to get access, as I know Greg Hunt will be thrilled about, to a drug called Orkambi. A drug that we announced that we were listing on Father's Day actually, last year. That would otherwise cost that family $250,000 a script. That we have now listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, it now only costs a bit over 40 bucks.

When I saw Luke the other week, it was just after his birthday down in Tassie. He told me he could now run with his mates and not get breathless. How good is that?

The drug will add at least 20 years to his life and you should see the smile on Donna's face. Only a mum can smile that big. I met Abigail in Perth with and , she was there with me also at the Esther Foundation, an amazing organisation that we support as a Government. She told me her story. At Esther, you will find stories, terrible stories of substance abuse, sexual abuse, terrible violence and attempted suicide by our youngest people. At Esther, they are reclaiming their future and their lives, by learning that no-one can take away the most important thing; their unique and precious value as a human being and as a woman. Then there's Jacqueline and I want to thank Michael for his introduction today, telling this story. Jacqueline, who, together with her husband, Robert, built up their cattle breeding station at Gipsy Plains in North Queensland. Doing it all their lives, 35 years together. A generation's work. In just 48 hours, their herd was washed away or died from pneumonia from the chilling wind on the slight little hills. As I stood with Jacqueline over the rotting stench of those carcasses, we just hugged. I would not leave there without her knowing that we and I, would stand with them and all those impacted, to rebuild. We are, and they know it.

As Michael has said, we will continue to stand with all of our drought-affected farmers as well. All the graziers impacted by the drought, like the Tully's out in Quilpie. Bridget was there too, when I met David, on the first Monday I was on the job as PM. All the drought-affected towns and communities that are out there, they will get that Future Drought Fund from us, Michael, they will get it, because next on Saturday, you get the opportunity to vote for it.

So, when you meet and hear people like this as I've been doing, you really understand why Australia is the best country in the world to live.

But I got a tip, I’ve got a tip for you. I believe it's even more than that. I believe that Australia is a promise to everyone who has the great privilege to call themselves an Australian. You know what that promise is? We know it. It's the promise that allows Australians, quietly going about their lives, to realise their simple, honest and decent aspirations - quiet, hardworking Australians.

An Australia where, if you have a go, you get a go.

54

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Where you're rewarded and respected for your efforts and contribution.

An Australia where you are accepted and acknowledged, regardless of your age, your ethnicity, your religion, your gender, your sexuality, your level of ability, or your wealth or your income.

An Australia where you can live in an economy that enables you and your family to enjoy the best living standards and be able to plan for your future with confidence.

A country where you can live in an environment that is clean and healthy and the envy of the world.

A country where, if you or your family, God forbid, get sick, you'll get access to world-class and affordable healthcare.

A country where your children get the best possible start in life; a great education and can grow up safe, safe.

A country where older Australians are respected, where their savings are secure and they get the help they need and the recognition they deserve.

A country that honours the service and sacrifice of all those who have gifted us our freedoms. To any veterans here today, any serving men and women here today, thank you for your service.

But you know, it's also a country that acknowledges the First Australians and unceasingly strives to ensure that every Indigenous girl and boy can grow up with the same opportunities as every other Australian. That's the promise and you know, it's so much more. This is why all the peoples of the world have come here to call Australia home and make us the most successful immigration country and multicultural nation in the world today.

That's the promise of Australia friends. To all the Australians listening, that' s the promise of Australia. A hard-won promise provided by the generations that went before us and must be improved by us in this current generation, to pass on to those generations that will follow. You know there is no-one to whom this promise of Australia is more entrusted to than the person you elect to be your Prime Minister. It is my vision for this country, as your Prime Minister, to keep the promise of Australia, to all Australians.

So I want to talk to you a bit about the future today. It's what I want to focus on today. About how, together, with Michael and the Nationals, together with Josh and our whole team and the whole team that's with me here today, moving forward – that if you vote Liberal and Nationals next Saturday, which is what we're asking you to do, this is how we'll keep that promise.

You know, it all begins with keeping our economy strong. A stronger economy, where people have the confidence to invest more, to employ more, to invent more, to work hard. Because people matter, as Mum said, a stronger economy matters.

55

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Because the economy is what people live in. It's real. You know, countries with weak economies, do not have good hospital systems. They do not have a reliable pension. They do not have affordable medicines. They do not have . They do not have Headspace. They do not have a fully-funded National Disability Insurance Scheme. They are not increasing investments in their public schools and aged-care.

By 2030, around 800,000 more Australians today will be on the aged pension. They'll be depending on a stronger economy and under our Government's policies, as Josh has said, we have made our economy stronger and we'll continue to do so in the future.

Growth is higher. There are 1.3 million more Australians in jobs. 95 per cent of the jobs created in the past year have been full time. Last financial year, more than 100,000 young people got a job. How good is that?

An all-time record! And as in particular, the seven women in my Cabinet know, female participation is at record highs under a Liberal and National Government. 230,000 new small and family businesses have been created. 70 per cent of our trade is now covered by export agreements, up from just 26 per cent under Labor. We have a plan to keep it that way. A plan that will see 1.25 million more Australians get a more over the next five years, one in five of those jobs will be for younger Australians. a plan that will see another 250,000 small and family businesses open their doors during the next five years. A plan that will give an additional 80,000 Australians a career by gaining an apprenticeship and particularly out there in rural and regional areas, where we're doubling down on ensuring that in regional areas, we can get more apprentices. A plan that will see 10,000 more Australian champion companies, exporting beyond our shores by 2022, supported by export deals that then will cover around 90 per cent of our trade. That's what an economic plan looks like.

To run a stronger economy as knows - because he's been doing it with us for the last six years - to run a stronger economy requires a government that knows how to manage money.

If you can't manage money, you can't run the country.

Have you ever noticed this? How those who can't manage money always end up spending more of it, and never spend it well? What they say, those who can't manage money, what the costs will be - if they're game enough to tell you - that's only just where it begins.

The real cost comes after their big spending programs fall victim to their incompetent administration. We have seen it every time under Labor.

School halls, last time. Pink batts. Cash-for clunkers. Border protection failures. Welfare blowouts. Rorting.

You know, Labor's appetite for big spending always exceeds their competency to spend it wisely or properly. You know, that's the bill you really cannot afford.

56

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA And as we know, when Labor runs out of money, they always come running after yours soon after. So, today, I'm not getting into a spend-a-thon with Labor. They're welcome to it. Reckless spending is not a vision, Australians. It's a burden on current and future generations. So I say to Australians; do not allow Labor's reckless spending to start. Vote Liberal and Nationals next Saturday.

Our Government has restored our nation's finances. We have turned that around. We have kept our Triple A credit rating. We have handed down - well done Josh and the entire ERC team - the first Budget surplus in more than a decade, back in the black.

And by staying on this path we will eliminate the debt within a decade, without raising your taxes. We have achieved this by getting spending growth under control, getting Australians off welfare and into work - and treating every dollar provided to us by the taxpayer with respect. It's what Liberals are Nationals do. You know, central to our plan of keeping our economy strong, is our plan to keep lowering taxes for hard-working Australians and small and medium sized family businesses. Making life just that little bit easier. We believe you should keep more of what you earn, because your money is better off in your hands than the Government's.

We believe, as Liberals and Nationals, that you know what is right for you, your family and your business. We believe that you, Australians, are the answer to keeping our economy strong. Those who believe in big taxing, big spending agendas, are not only prepared to experiment with our economy at a time when we can least afford it. They believe that they know better than you.

Step one of our lower tax plan for the future, provides immediate tax relief for low and middle income earners earning up to $126,000 a year. That‘s up to $1,080 for singles and $2,000 for couples and families. 10 million Australians will benefit from that. Step two - this is a plan, this is how you have a plan to lower taxes - step two is to make our income tax system simpler and fairer by lifting the tax threshold for the 19 cent rate - I don't know many high income earners on the 19 cent tax rate by the way – from $37,000 a year to 45,000 a year. That is who we are delivering it for. Then abolishing the 37 tax rate in its entirety and that part is already legislated.

That means Australians earning between $45,000 a year and $200,000 a year in the future, will never face bracket creep again. So you can take on that extra shift. You can have a go for that promotion and take on that extra training. You can study at night and you will not be penalised under our Government, with higher marginal tax rates. Particularly for young people going through that first 10 years of your working life. Every time you get ahead, only to face higher marginal tax rates. That‘s what will hold you back and we are getting rid of that. Step three is to cut the middle income tax rate for that group I just said, between $45,000 and $200,000 from 32.5 cents to just 30 cents. That means under our plan 94 per cent of working Australians will pay no more than 30 cents in the dollar as a marginal tax rate. That's tax reform.

Achieved on a responsible timeline, fully funded, without reducing expenditure or increasing taxes on anyone else. Because in our Party, you don't have to hold someone down to let someone else get ahead. We believe that all Australians can succeed in this country.

57

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA We don't buy Labor's politics of envy.

And because it's fairer, those on the top tax rate, they will still pay their fair share. In fact, under this plan, those on the top marginal tax rate will go from paying just less than one third of all tax in this country, to slightly over, 36 per cent. So it‘s fair too.

A strong economy has enabled us to invest in the essentials that Australians rely on and we have a plan to keep investing in those essentials for the future. I want more Australians to be able to realise the dream of owning their own home. We have already put strong foundations in place. A strong economy is of course critical to that.

There were 112,000 new first homeowners last year. That is a nine year high and the measure so far have included allowing those first home savers to use their super fund to get a tax cut on their home deposit savings. Meaning they can save up to 30 per cent faster with exactly the same, what they‘re taking out of their pay each week. Restricting foreign ownership in new developments in real estate and real estate more generally. We established the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation that is directly lending money at low rates to support affordable housing projects by community housing organisations. We are making more government land available, particularly Defence land, for new housing, including more affordable housing projects. But we need to go further.

It's hard to save for a deposit, especially with the banks pulling back and larger deposits of 20 per cent now being standard. It‘s not getting easier. We want to help make the dreams of first home buyers a reality. So we have decided to go further at this election and pledge to adopt a scheme, similar to what has been running for our Kiwi cousins in New Zealand for many years now.

Our new First Home Loan Deposit Scheme I announce today, will enable first home owners to buy their deposit of down to 5 per cent. This will make a big difference, cutting the time taken to save for a deposit by at least half and more. This will work by the Government's National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation that I established as Treasurer, supporting these first home borrowers. That will include guaranteeing to approved applicants, the additional loan amount taken out by the first home buyer, to cover the difference between the lower deposit of say 5 per cent and the 20 per cent of the value of the property. This scheme would give preference to working with the smaller banks and the non-bank lenders, to boost competition. Of course, the lenders will still be there once lending the money. They will still do all the normal checks on the borrowers to make sure they can meet their repayments. This isn't free money. This scheme will be available to first home buyers with an income of up to $125,000 or a couple with $200,000, where they are both first home buyers. The support would stay in place for the life of the loan and when they refinance in a few years time, when the equity increases - which it would under a Liberal and National Government – then that is when the guarantee ceases. But they have their first leg on the first rung of the ladder.

58

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA And you know, when you give Australians a go, they'll get a go and they will have a go. This scheme will complement our First Home Super Saver scheme that remains and all the state based schemes as well. It will start from the beginning of next year.

And I'll tell you what we won't do; what we won't do is undermine the value of the home you have saved so hard to buy.

What we won't do is undervalue the home that you are paying your mortgage on or you‘re out there trying to save your for first home and are renting. We won't put up your rent, by making the sweeping changes to , abolishing it as we know it and increasing capital gains tax by 50 per cent, as Labor will. The last thing Australians - as Josh was saying - who are own their own home or are paying a mortgage, need, is for the home value to fall and the rent to increase. But that‘s what Bill Shorten has got planned with his housing tax.

He refused the other night to rule that out and you know why? Because he knows what the impact will be and he will not tell you what the price of Bill Shorten is.

Our plan for future health services builds on our record of investment so far. I commend Greg Hunt and and Peter Dutton for the work they have done to achieve this, a 60 per cent increase in hospital funding since we came to Government. A record in Medicare bulk-billing rates of nearly 90 per cent. Medicare has never been stronger or better-funded than under this Liberal National Government.

More than 2,000 medicine subsidised to provide affordable access through our Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. When Labor ran out of money they stopped listing medicines. A doubling in the number of older Australians receiving in-home aged care packages and aged care funding up by 50 per cent and growing by $1 billion every single year. Us having the courage to put the aged care system to a Royal Commission to ensure that we value our older Australians and they get the best possible care, because we love them so dearly. Our extra $31 billion.

Karen likes that one, so does Christian. Our extra $31 billion for public hospitals over the next five years, which is in our Budget, is equivalent to over 46 million emergency department services, 75 million outpatient services, and on 1.1 million knee replacements. Over 35 million life-changing diagnostic scans is our future plan, including MRI, PET and CT scans, including for breast cancer. It will be funded by Medicare, up by 21 million under Labor. 3,000 additional doctors and 3,000 additional nurses and allied health professionals are being placed in rural general practice over the next decade through our $550 million Stronger Rural Health strategy.

And today I make this pledge and I challenge Bill Shorten to do the same; I pledge to the 13.5 million Australians with private health insurance, there will be no private health insurance cuts under my Government.

I will not punish Australians for taking responsibility for themselves and their families.

59

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Friends, one in four young Australians experience mental ill-health each year. Suicide is the leading cause of death of our young people. Jenny and I are making a commitment, I am making this commitment; to combat youth suicide as a national priority for our nation. It's a curse on our nation and it's a curse we must break together. 428 young lives lost last year and with every life lost - and we have all been touched by this in some way, shape, or form - countless more lives shattered or damaged in their wake.

When Josh got up and announced the Budget, he knows there was no measure that I was more passionate about than what has now become the $500 million for youth mental health and suicide prevention. With 30 new Headspace centres. Headspace, that was established by the Liberal and National Government. More counselling, particularly after disasters. Reaching out particularly into rural and regional Australia at the moment ,where we know they‘re hurting badly. Better treatment for early psychosis, building up the mental health of our young people so they grow up healthy. More support, particularly for Indigenous youth, out there where we know they‘re taking their own lives and reducing the waiting list for these services. I want young Australians to be full of hope and living their life positively for the future. I am on a mission on this and, as Jenny knows, when I get determined I get very determined.

For women's health today, for mums, I am pleased to announce $53 million in new measures today. A new mums, dads and bubs check to boost perinatal support and tackle postnatal depression. This is a cause as close to my heart and our family, as it has hit close to home. Too many parents have suffered in silence. We‘ll give patients with lymphedema access to specialised, subsidised compression garments. We‘ll deliver extra funding for the Australian Breastfeeding Association to help support mothers and new research efforts, to assist in the support of the health of women and babies. I know that , our candidate here in Higgins, she loves this.

And I need Katie Allen, I need Dr Katie Allen, as my member for Higgins.

To help me implement this plan. If you care about the children, our children's health, vote for Dr Katie Allen and get her on my team next Saturday.

Having fully funded the NDIS and increased the number of Australians supported by the NDIS from 30,000 to 280,000, my pledge and my commitment is to increase the number of Australians supported by the NDIS over the next five years to more than half a million Australians.

This will occur of course, alongside the Royal Commission we established into the abuse of Australians with a disability. You know those, as I said before, who have served our country and defended our values will always be an abiding focus for a . Our plan for veterans announced in this campaign, includes our investment in six veterans wellbeing hubs around the country, including up at The Oasis in , where I couldn't be more proud of our candidate Phil Thompson and the service that he's given to our country and the service he now wants to give to our country in the Parliament. Or down there at the old Repat Hospital site in which Nicole Flint has been such an advocate for, down

60

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA there in Boothby and I know our South Australians with Birmo here are thrilled about that.This builds on an almost $500 million investment in Veteran Centric Reform that has already cut waiting times for permanent impairment on the support they receive, by almost half.

But I know and we all know and I want to assure you that knows, we know that that still is not good enough. We have to double down on ensuring our vets just don‘t get the memorials to their service that we bow to every and Armistice Day, but they get the support each and every day as living memorial because they fought for us and they deserve it.

Now to ensure young Australians reach their full potential, we will continue to make record investments in education, won‘t we Dan? From early childhood education to university, already our Government has increased funding for state public schools - you won‘t hear this at a Labor launch - our Government has increased funding for state public schools, by more than 60 per cent.

Over the next decade primary and secondary school funding will grow by 62 per cent on average for the almost 4 million students we expect to be in our government, Catholic and Independent schools. Our $310 billion investment which is backed by a stronger economy, not higher taxes, in Australian schools is about ensuring students and parents and teachers have the information and the quality tools they need for a world-class education system. In education, it‘s not just about how much you spend, it‘s about how you spend it. And you spend it well you‘ve got to know how to manage money.

Our national plan also recognises the importance of infrastructure to people‘s daily lives and to the economy. Our infrastructure plan is part of a broader plan to manage population growth. and David Coleman work together with our entire Cabinet to pull together a population plan that in addition to infrastructure, includes keeping migration under control, which we must do. Investing in programmes to ensure we support migrants to settle successfully here in our country and maintain social cohesion in our communities that is the pride of the world. Working with state governments as we did, as I brought Premiers and Chief Ministers together at the end of last year, to have a population planning growth framework which means we can plan better for population growth.

That‘s why we will keep building the infrastructure Australia needs. The new Western Sydney International Airport.

In my home town and Marise‘s home town particularly in Western Sydney, the Bruce Highway up there in Queensland, the Rail Link here in Melbourne, the Tonkin Highway, the North South Corridor upgrade, the new Bridgewater Bridge, the Buntine Highway in the NT and Sarah, the Fast Rail between Geelong and Melbourne.

So all those Cats supporters can get up to the game and back a lot quicker in the future and of course our freight lines as Michael knows and our entire teams knows, are so important to keeping our rural and regional economies getting their product to

61

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA market. It‘s also why we are today and I know that will be pleased about this in particular, but as will Alan Tudge and the Speaker Tony Smith, today we are renewing an upgrade our commitment to the East West Link.

You know, it‘s Ok, it‘s Ok; Labor may choose to continue to ignore residents of eastern Melbourne. That‘s, well, I‘m not going to pick a fight with them about that. They‘ve made their choices about who they‘re going to stand by.

We‘re not going to ignore the residents of eastern Melbourne, struggling with road congestion. We are going to stand by them, as these three particular Members always have. By increasing our commitment, the way Josh set out this morning, this project can proceed without the need for the State Government to divert resources from the many other projects that they‘ve identified. So, taking no issue with that. But you know, when I‘m going to invest federal funds in these projects at a state level, it needs to add value. I‘m not just going to fund things the state Government is already doing. I‘m just not going to subsidise States for things they‘re already doing. They should get on and do those things. I welcome that and I will work with every single State and Territory Premier and Chief Minister, regardless of what side of politics they come from, to ensure we deliver our infrastructure plans. That is very much what is motivating me today with our Members to put it forward in this way. I accept that the Victorian Government has not identified the East West link as a priority for them. So just let us get on and do it. How about that?

Of course there‘s funding for targeted urban congestion projects, like widening Racecourse Road out there at Pakenham and there‘s commuter car parks in Hurstville and Gosford and in Penrith, there‘s bridge renewals up there in Brisbane and there‘s the third crossing up there on the Hawksbury in NSW. There‘s $100 billion of projects going forward. There‘s regional roads, there‘s airports, we‘re building on the $46 billion already invested by our Government.

And our $3.5 billion Climate Solutions Package is taking real action on climate change.

I welcome Melissa and together with Angus, we worked together on this package on the Climate Solutions Package, real action on climate change with practical emission reducing activities, especially working with farmers and Indigenous communities that will meet and beat our Kyoto 2020 targets by 367 million tonnes. We will also meet our 2030 targets as well with this clear plan we‘ve set out, reducing - and for those who say; ‗Is it enough‘? We will reduce our emissions per capita by half and our emissions intensity by two thirds. That‘s real action on climate change that we are doing our bit as we should as a global citizen, but I‘m not going to do it and put our kids economic future at risk.

And I‘ll tell you another thing; I‘m not going to do it by telling you what car you can drive. I wonder if he‘s looked up the price yet.

I‘m not going to do it by forcing our hard-working companies up there, whether they‘re in Central and North Queensland, or down in Tasmania, or out there at Wodonga where I was with Rod Finnemore‘s trucking company the other day, or

62

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA over in the resources industry in , I‘m not going to tell those companies that they have to send billions of dollars offshore in those foreign carbon credits. Money, billions, that should be spent here on our jobs on our wage increases for Australians. On our greater and stronger businesses.

I‘m not going to do it by sending money offshore to make someone else‘s economy stronger. Our investments in here Australia will be about making our economy stronger.

So we‘ve presided over record investment in renewable energy generation, $25 billion slated to occur from 2018 to 2020. Record levels of investment in renewables in this country. There are now 2.1 million households with solar panels, that‘s up from less than 1 million when we were first elected. I don‘t know how Bill Shorten has gotten around the country and he hasn‘t seen 2.1 million houses. We have saved the Great Barrier Reef - well done to Greg Hunt particularly on his work when he was Environment Minister - taking it off the endangered list.

We‘ve invested record funds in researching and protecting its future thanks to Josh‘s time as environment minister. And our local communities environment fund, another initiative of Melissa‘s, the $100 million Environment Restoration Fund, are ensuring we‘re supporting practical works to improve the quality of local waterways, parks and beaches, which is where we live. The girls will be happy to know we‘re getting to the end of the speech darlings.

You‘ve been very patient. Finally, Australians know that the Liberal and Nationals can always be trusted to keep them safe and our borders secure.

I pay credit to Tony Abbott for that, I pay credit to Peter Dutton who is here today and has been keeping that going, you‘ve done an outstanding job Peter.

I tell you what, I know who's going to be protecting the borders in my Government next Sunday if we're elected. Bill Shorten still can't tell you.

Our 328 million women's safety package and I want to acknowledge Kelly O'Dwyer who has done great work on this, means ore shelters, more front-line services for women in these situations. Legal changes, well done to for working with that element of the programme. Domestic violence leave legislated nd cultural change that, together, we all must continue to lead. Now, that brings our total investment in tackling the scourge of family violence, which is a bipartisan issue, this isn't a partisan comment, we're all working together on this, to more than $840 million. We're going to accelerate that work further in the next term under my leadership.

We have a plan and Mitch knows all about this, to keep our kids safe online. Ensuring the big social media and technology companies are subject to the same rules and responsibilities that apply in the physical world. They must be and if re- elected, I'll be taking that campaign that we've already begun to the next Leader's meeting up there in Japan in just a few weeks. So I'm asking you to send me

63

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA there with a mission, to ensure that the big social media companies do the right thing by our kids and by our community.

And our security agencies will always get the resources and the laws that they need to keep Australians safe from terrorism. These agencies have thwarted 15 major terrorist attacks. They are modern heroes and we thank them for everything they've done to keep us safe.

Operation Sovereign Borders, I never get tired of referring to that because it remains one of our Government's signature achievements. It has been a privilege to have been a part of it, with so many others, as I said before. But Australians know this; only the Liberals and Nationals could have stopped the boats. And only the Liberals and Nationals can be trusted to ensure they remain stopped.

Our Defence Forces can also continue to rely on the Liberals and Nationals. We set our commitment to restore Defence spending to 2 per cent, from the 1.56 per cent – pre Second World War levels, where the Labor Party left it. To get it back to 2 per cent of GDP, we said we'd do that and we will be doing it three years earlier than we promised in 2020-21. And our plan will grow the permanent ADF work force our Defence workforce, to 62,400 under our future plan over the decade and more than that, provide them with a capability and equipment and the support they need to do the job.

So in conclusion, with a stronger economy, the Liberals and the Nationals will deliver on our plan to create a 1.25 million more jobs and better paid jobs over the next five years. We‘ll maintain the Budget surpluses and pay down debt. Deliver real tax relief for families and for small, hardworking businesses. Will guarantee increased funding for schools, hospitals, medicines and roads and keep Australians safe and keep our borders secure. And we‘ll do that, as Josh said on Budget night, without increasing your taxes.

So the election, friends, is about a choice. The choice of who you can trust to keep the promise of Australia, to all Australians as Prime Minister. Myself or Bill Shorten.

The choice between a Government that knows how to manage money, has returned the Budget to surplus and will now pay down debt.

Or Bill Shorten and Labor, whose reckless spending and higher taxes will put all of that risk, at the worst possible time. There are storm clouds and tensions ahead. The choice between a Government that will ensure you keep more of what you earn, or Bill Shorten and Labor that will hit you and weaken our economy which impacts all 25 million Australians with $387 billion in new and higher taxes.

The choice between a stronger economy under my Government, that can guarantee funding, real funding, for hospitals, schools and roads, and Labor who always runs out of money and always comes after yours.

64

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA It‘s the choice between a Prime Minister in myself who just wants to back, acknowledge and cheer on the decent and simple and honest aspirations of Australians - and Bill Shorten, who just wants to tax all of those aspirations more.

So, together with my whole team, we're asking Australians for your support next Saturday, to vote Liberal and to vote Nationals, so together we can build our economy, to secure your future and so we can keep the promise of Australia to Australians, in this generation and the next. Thank you very much.

Apr 14 2019

Prime Minister's Address in Brisbane

Thank you, thank you. Well what a beautiful day here in Brisbane, thank you for that wonderful welcome and thank you for coming out here today with Jenny and I and Abbey and Lily. It‘s tremendously exciting to be here, at the start of this tremendously important campaign. I‘m joined by my colleagues here and Josh, thanks for the warm up mate. Particularly that Budget, how good was Josh‘s Budget?

I want to tell you why we are here today. I want to share a story with you. I want to talk about some important things for our country‘s future today. As we set out on the next five weeks and the big decision Australians will make five weeks from now, our economy is stronger. As Josh said in the Budget, unemployment is lower, the Budget is back in black.

Absolutely. There are more people working today of working age than at any time in our history. We have the lowest level of welfare dependency of working age population that our country has seen in generations. This is all important , but let me tell you why it‘s important.

A stronger economy is important because people matter. People matter, the economy matters. This is why we are so passionate as a political movement, the Liberals and the Nationals, because we know that for our people to be strong, for our people to have the services they rely on, for our people to have the choices in life to fulfil their great purpose and destiny in life, that they choose - that is not chosen for them - then they need the environment of a strong economy to achieve that.

And if you can‘t manage money, you can‘t run the country. That‘s the lesson of Australia‘s political history of this country. It‘s the lesson I think, as we have looked at economic policy and policy of all sorts down over the generations.

I want to talk about some very special people today. I grew up in the suburbs of Sydney and my parents John and Marion taught my brother Alan and I something very important. That is; life is not about what you accumulate, life to about what you contribute. I think that is what we believe is the difference. Over the course of their life my parents just didn‘t say that to me and Alan as we were growing up. They demonstrated it in the life they live. For forty five years - forty five years - my parents Marion and John, ran the Boys and Girls Brigade at our local church. Every

65

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Thursday and Friday night, of every school week for forty five years, my parents were there leading those young lives. They invested themselves in the youth of their community. And as generations past and as each generation came over those forty five years, there are a lot of camps, there are a lot of late nights, there were a lot of fundraisers, there are a lot of calls in the middle of the night from parents, who knew Dad or Mum would be able to go out and help in whatever situation, Dad was a police officer. That‘s how they invested their lives over forty five years and what we are doing here today as a Government in my view, is that I am honouring their mission for young people.

Of all the things we have achieved as a Government over the last five and a half years, the one we are most proud of and certainly I am most proud of, is that last year more than 100,000 young Australians got a job.

Jobs change lives. Jobs change communities. Jobs change nations. Inside every single Australian, every single young Australian is a great champion and our country is always stronger when we understand the unique value and contribution that every single Australian has in them. It‘s our job to bring it out and that is what our policies are doing. 100,000 young people getting a job. That is 100,000 young people who now are more likely to live a life in employment, than life a life dependant on welfare where their choices are limited. When you‘ve got a job you‘ve got choices. When you‘ve got a job you can look forward and plan for the future. When you‘ve got a job you can save and build a family, like Amanda over here and her lovely family. You can do that when you‘ve got a job and so, when it comes to creating jobs, there are many things we need to achieve.

We need to ensure when Australians get into work and when they go to find work they have the skills to get them there. Today we are announcing that we are upping the plan Josh announced in the budget. We are spending $530 million and we are spending $50 million specifically on opening ten new jobs hubs in some of the hardest areas of unemployment around the country.

Since we came into Government youth employment has fallen from 12.7 per cent to 11.1 per cent.

When Labor were in power they increased youth unemployment from 10 per cent to 12.7 per cent.

When Labor was in power 800 young people lost a job on average every month.

Since we have been in Government well over 2,000 young people have been getting a job every single month. Now the reason that‘s happening is because of the strong economy. The reason that is happening is because we‘re investing and enlivening small and family businesses in this country. The reason this is happening is we are investing in the infrastructure that is needed to bust congestion in our cities, to connect our markets to our farmers and our rural and regional areas to allow them to grow and prosper as well.

66

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA See, we have had a plan for growing a stronger economy over the last five and a half years. We have been delivering on that plan and that strong economy is bringing with it jobs. More jobs and more jobs for young people. But to ensure that stays the truth in the future, what we have to do is we‘ve got to continue to invest in our young people. That‘s why as a Government we‘ve invested and increased our investment in public schools in this country, by over 60 per cent, 62 per cent in fact. That is why the average per student funding over the decade will increase by 62 per cent. That‘s why we have been investing in the skills development of our young people and in that particular programme which we announced in the Budget where we‘ve got ten new hubs in difficult places where we‘ve high levels of youth unemployment, like in Grafton and Maryborough and places like this or in Gosford on the central coast in NSW and elsewhere, or in Shepparton down in . This is going to be a place where people can connect up with one of the other success stories of the Government which has been with Youth Jobs PaTH.

You know 43,000 young people have got a job through the youth PaTH programme, by getting in touch with that programme, by being brought through? 70 per cent of those who went through the internship part of the youth PaTH programme found a job within three months. A real full time job, a real job, a real job.

That‘s what a strong economy does. Because people matter, a strong economy matters. And because people matter, we want people in jobs and we want young people in jobs. Because I know as the former Social Services Minister, that if a young person isn‘t in a job by their early twenties, their risk of living a life on welfare skyrockets. So it‘s important we give young people those opportunities to get into jobs.

So you want to ask me what this election is about? It‘s about jobs, because people matter. It‘s about jobs, because people matter. The other thing as a parent - and there are many parents here today and when we‘re talking about young people, we are not just talking to young people, we are talking about the parents of young people here. The aunties and uncles of young people, we‘re talking the grandparents of young people, all of us want a better future for young people in this country. And we want them to be able to be resilient, because it is tough today.

We know it is hard for young people today. There are so many more pressures for them to confront these days than was the case previously. So many other different influences, so many other threats and we know we need to invest in our young people to ensure that they can be resilient and face these challenges.

One of the things we did most recently is that we committed $70 million to support young people with eating disorders in this country. $70 million to provide the services and the facilities in particular. But on top of that to make sure eating disorders we recognised as a treatable condition under Medicare, to ensure the GPs and others were able to use the Medicare system to support people with eating disorders in this country. We are recognising it and acknowledging it and in the Budget we said we were going to take on one of the biggest challenges that I think our country faces. That is combating the challenge of youth suicide in this country and youth mental health.

67

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Yesterday, I was with Jenny and we were at a Headspace in Ashfield with Dr our candidate for Reid. We met with young people there who have been working in the headspace network and we announced our package to confront and combat youth suicide is now $503.1 million. That includes expanding our Headspace centres by 30 across the country, 20 at least of those will be in rural and regional areas across Australia. We will be reaching out to young people to ensure that they know this very important fact; that they are not alone. That Australia loves and cares for its young people combating the difficulties and challenges and anxieties of growing up and the questions and uncertainties and the pressures. We are providing the facilities and services to ensure that our young people can have hope in a beautiful and long life and hope for their future.

Youth suicide … more than 400 young people are taking their own lives each year, 428 in the most recent years of statistics. It's a curse on our country. But it's a curse that we can break. It's a curse we must beat.

The reason we can go and invest over half a billion dollars in combatting youth suicide in this country, is because we are committed to having a strong economy. See that is the key. Unless you have a strong economy, unless you can manage money, then you can say all sorts of things but you can't deliver on the ground. So whether it‘s a case of challenging the difficulties of youth suicide and youth mental help around the country or indeed whether its eating disorders. Or indeed whether it's the further challenges they face with online bullying and bullying in schools - and we have established the first e-Safety Commissioner, we have put in place $100 million worth of investment and Peter Dutton knows all about it. He has been a champion against those who seek to be sexual predators on children, Peter has done an extraordinary job in leading the charge in our fight against those who would steal the innocence of our children.

So you know if you care about families, if you care about young people, if they are at the centre of what you‘re about, well, you protect them. You throw your arms around them. So whether it's their mental health in issue, or building their resilience from the youngest of ages, protecting them from those who seek to bully and intimidate them and in the worst, the worst of all cases, steal their innocence from them in a violently aggressive way, this is what we are doing as a government to support our young people as they face the challenges of the future. But our young people, you know, they deserve this.

They deserve, of course, not to have the legacy of debt. They deserve not to have our generation spend their future on our standard of living, but intend to do the exact opposite and to set them up for success. To not burden them with higher taxes and not burden them with opportunities being denied them because of an economy which is weighed down.

They deserve to have hope for their future. They deserve to have hope and they deserve to be assured that we‘re focusing on the issues that concern them, particularly about their future. I will come more to the economy again in a sec.

68

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA But of course we to have to take action on climate change and we are taking action on climate change. I can tell you that it wasn't just a budget deficit that we encountered when we came to government in 2013. We came into government and faced a climate deficit when we came to government. Josh knows all about this, he served as an Environment Minister. When we came to government to meet our Kyoto 2020 targets, we were more than 700 million tons behind the game, when it came to meeting our Kyoto targets. In the space of that last five and a half years, we've turned that around and we will now beat those Kyoto 2020 targets by 369 million tons.

That is a 1.1 billion ton turnaround on meeting our climate commitments and in this Budget Josh, there is $100 million to further strengthen our environment when it comes to local environmental works. Trevor Evans knows all about the great works on the ground with our community environment programme.

So don't let it be said that the Liberal and National Parties aren't investing in the future of our environment. We are. See we don't just talk about it, we get it done. The other thing we know is, we know that to take action on climate change doesn't mean you've got to take the economy out, either at the same time. You don't have to do that.

We need to tell Australians, you don't have to choose between your economy and your environment. You don't have to choose between your job and the environment. You don‘t have to choose between your car and the environment.

You can have all of these things and we can't allow Australians to be lulled into that lie, which says you can't. Because you can. Because we are, because that is exactly what we are doing.

That strong economy is the reason why we are investing $3.5 billion, $3.5 billion to ensure we are protecting the future of our environment. Even beyond that when it comes to investing in key areas like the Great Barrier Reef, which is a livelihood as well as a great natural asset for our nation. And we will continue to do that, whether it's on the environment or other areas - in the health care of our young people and the education our young people.

But the other thing I think we want for Australians who are young, for their future, is we want them to be full of aspiration. We are the Party of aspiration. We are the parties with aspiration, I should say, the Liberals and Nationals, we are the parties of aspiration. We understand the reason our economy is strong is because of the hard work and effort of every single Australian. It's why the Budget is back in the black because Australians have worked hard.

You know, you‘ve got to set the right conditions for that. One of the keys to that is to ensure that – as we think - Australians should keep more of what they earn.

We think that as Australians, the harder you work the better you do, then you should be able to get on with it. You should be able to get on with it. This is, I think, one of great big fault lines of this election.

69

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA As Liberals and Nationals, we believe you don't have to hold anyone down, to lift anyone up. We believe all Australians can be lifted up and the harder all Australians work, then the better they will do. And they won‘t be held back under the policies of a Liberal Nationals Government.

This is why we have a plan to reduce taxes on Australians, to reduce taxes on small and family businesses. Particularly if you're a young person - I remember when I came out of University and I entered the decade of Labor's recession. I remember a million people being out of work. One in two people, in fact more than that, will vote at this election never having experienced a recession during their working life.

But I remember the last one. I remember the million people out of work. People in this room know about 18 per cent interest rates and ―the recession we had to have‖ under Labor. God forbid we would ever have another recession. There are some who say, you know; ―What people need is a good recession to teach them a few things.‖ I don't agree. I don't want my children to ever have to live through a recession. But I can tell you, if you stick to the policies of the Liberal and Nationals, then that is the best defense against a recession that you could ever think of.

And the reason for that is because we are continually unleashing the unbridled passion and spirit and hard work and enterprise of the Australian people.

Now Labor wants to put a $387 billion tax bomb on the Australian economy. This will hold Australians back, it will hold these young people back. It will hold their future back. It will weigh them down.

How on Earth anyone can think putting that much debt on an economy as we go into the uncertain times that Josh and Matthias have spoken about so often, how we think that is going to make our economy more resilient? By increasing the taxes on housing? By increasing taxes on retirees who have worked hard all their lives? By increasing the taxes on your investment, on what you invest in your superannuation and the contributions that you make? Increasing the taxes on pretty much everything that moves, when it comes to reckless abatement targets that the Labor Party have put in place. That will cost Australians their wages, some $9,000 a year. Putting on the price of everything, from the car you'd like to buy - which you probably won't be allowed to under Bill Shorten - or from what you put in your kids lunch box and all the rest of it. I mean, their policies are designed to raise prices.

So if you are concerned about cost of living, the answer is not higher taxes.

If you are concerned about cost of living, which I am, then the answer is not in reckless abatement targets just to raise the cost of living.

And it you are concerned about cost of living, what you’re interested in is an economy that is strong.

Now we have the runs on the boards when it comes to that. But more importantly, have the plans to keep it going in that direction. It's the plan for the future of our economy that Australians can rely on.

70

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Today we have announced that of the 1.25 million jobs that we will create over the next five years, one in five of those jobs will be for young Australians. 250,000 jobs for young Australians.

That's what a strong economy does. That's what a strong economy does, 250,000 jobs for young Australians because people matter. That's why a strong economy matters and that's why having the policies that create that stronger economy, that's why that matters.

So as we go forward now, over the next five weeks, there is a big decision that the Australian people will be weighing up. There will be a choice between a Government, a Liberal and Nationals Government that has delivered a strong economy and has a plan to continue to deliver a strong economy, or a Labor government that will deliver a weak economy. Saddled down by policies that will slow the growth of our economy.

There is a choice between a Liberal and Nationals Government that stands for lower taxes, that will reduce the tax burden on the entire economy or a Labor government, a Bill Shorten government, that will result in $387 billion of higher taxes that will weigh down the Australian economy.

There is the choice between the Liberal and Nationals Government that I lead, that has proven we know how to manage money and has got the Budget back in the black. It has taken us some 10 years and more to get back to where we were when the Howard Costello government left office. 10 or 12 years now, to be back where we are in a position where Josh could hand down a Budget surplus the first time since then. So it‘s choice between a Liberal and Nationals Government which has demonstrated, proven, has the runs on the board for how to manage money and a Bill Shorten Labor government who all Australians know, Labor doesn't know how to manage money.

And if you can't manage money, you can't run the country.

If you can't manage money, you can't run health system.

If you can't manage money, you can't run an education system.

If you can't manage money, you can't create jobs for young people.

If you can't manage money, you can't combat youth suicide. You can't go out there and change the lives for Australians living with disabilities. You can't go out there and stand with parents while they are working to try and change the life of their kids who are struggling with eating disorder. You can't go out there and actually make the environment the beautiful thing we want it to be for everybody in this country.

If you can't manage money, then you can't run the country.

71

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA So friends, that's the choice. It's an important choice and as we launched into this election I made a very simple point; the decisions Australians will make in five weeks, it won't just determine the next three years, it will determine the next decade that Australians live in. It will determine the economy Australians live in for the next decade.

Let's not let happen what happened last time when Labor came in 2007. They lost control the Budget. They lost control of the borders. The lost control of the economy. It has taken us more than a decade to get back.

If you vote Labor once, you'll pay for it for more than a decade.

That's the lesson of Australian political and government history and that is why friends, we have a big fight ahead of us, a very big fight ahead of us. But I can tell you my team all around the country, we are up for this. We are so up to this, because we know what is at stake. Yes, it's the future for all Australians. But the Australians I'm thinking of most, I've got to tell you, are these Australians, young Australians, young Australians. And for these young Australians, I'm making this pledge; that we will build our economy to secure your future, because people matter.

Thank you very much.

4 our plan for keeping AUSTRALIANS SAFE AND SECURE

*Check against delivery*

Well thank you Sabra and thank you for the welcome here today and can I acknowledge the Ngunnawal people, elders past present and emerging.

Can I thank the members of the press gallery for being here today. As one of them remarked to me today, ―Welcome back to the bubble.‖ Thank you very much for the welcome.

To all of my colleagues who are here with me today, thank you. There are too many to mention but I‘m so pleased that you are able to be joining me here for today‘s important address talking about a safer Australia.

A few weeks ago, I had the great privilege as Prime Minister of awarding Kate and Tick Everett the honour of being Local Hero Australians of the Year.

Now, Kate is with us here today, she‘s up the back. Give her a round of applause. Every Australian parent can only try and begin to imagine the pain of Kate and Tick when they lost their daughter Dolly to online bullying just over a year ago.

72

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Through Dolly‘s dream, they are transforming what I can only describe as indescribable grief into a force for change to protect the children of our country.

For parents, security used to mean warnings of ‗stranger danger‘ and keeping an eye on the kids as they played in the front yard or on the nature strip.

The online world has opened up a dangerous place for our children. It is the terror of parents everywhere, including Jen and me.

Just over a week before that, I met Saeed. He is the father of Aiia Maasarwe.

Aiia was a kind hearted, beautiful and generous human being who was brutally raped and murdered in Melbourne only a few weeks ago. It‘s not the first time we have seen terrible acts like that.

Now, Saeed and I are from different nations, different faiths, different cultures, but we share one thing in common. And that is understanding the special place a daughter has in her father‘s heart. And I can tell you, nothing prepares you for a meeting like that.

But despite his pain, Saeed reminded Australians to “see light in the dark” because that’s what Aiia believed.

But the other truth is that women in Australia are still the targets of violence, abuse and disrespect. And this must stop.

Last year I also visited the scene where a radical extremist Islamic terrorist murdered Sisto Malaspina on Bourke Street in Melbourne. Sisto was rushing to the aid of the man who became his murderer.

An act of violence not just against a fellow Australian, but against our very way of life and who we are.

And just this past week, as Linda Reynolds and I were together, we stood with those who had been fighting fires in Tasmania down there in the Huon Valley, and we stood with the families returning to their flooded homes in Townsville.

Across the range, farmers were being hit with something they had never seen in their lifetimes and the lifetimes of generations prior to that. The loss of their livelihoods as hundreds of thousands of cattle were washed away or died stranded in flooded mud.

It‘s heartbreaking. Soul destroying. And it‘s still happening right now, those animals are dying as we speak. And Linda and I and other ministers were on the phone to the mayors this morning once again.

That same week I joined hundreds in Melbourne to remember the Black Saturday bushfires, and we‘ll do that again in Parliament tomorrow, where families still grieve and communities are still healing ten years on.

73

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA And just before Christmas, I had the great privilege of visiting our troops in Iraq.

Australians putting themselves in harm‘s way to stabilise a land far away from here. But there they serve, as knows, who saw them in January, bravely and gladly in our nation‘s interests.

I‘ve told you those stories because the point I want to make is that keeping Australians safe and secure is not just about discussing the great geopolitical tensions of our time.

It‘s much more personal than that. It‘s much more meaningful than that. It affects your every day, it extends to our communities, our families, women, children and individual Australians.

That‘s how I see my national security and safety responsibilities to the Australian people.

For the past five and a half years, our Government has taken these responsibilities extremely seriously, dealing with the world as it is. Uncertain, often dangerous, uncompromising and, at its worst, simply evil.

Every day we have been taking action to build a stronger and even more resilient Australia to deal with whatever comes at us.

That‘s why today I am releasing our forward plan to keep Australians safe and secure in the future. Our plan to keep Australians safe and secure.

The plan builds on our achievements and addresses the newer and emerging threats we face. Plans must always be updated to achieve that.

Regional tensions between the world's great powers, heightened global instability; stiff headwinds facing, as Josh Freedenberg knows as Treasurer, the global economy, and Mathias Cormann; foreign interference; radical Islamist terrorism; people smuggling; natural disasters; organised crime; money laundering; biosecurity hazards, cybersecurity; the evil ICE trade; violence against women on our streets; online predators and scammers who seek to rip off older Australians; cyber-bullying and elder abuse.

Our plan to Keep Australians safe and secure, to address these threats, is straightforward.

 Keep our economy strong to provide the surest foundation for our security.  Defend Australia with a record investment of over $200 billion in our nation’s defence capability over the next decade.  Continue to protect our borders with proven policies that work and not changing them.  Keeping Australians safe from terrorism, by disrupting and denying terrorists the ability to undertake attacks in Australia.

74

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA  Combat violence against women and counter the culture of disrespect towards women that can lead to that violence.  Protect our children online and in the real world, going after sexual predators and countering bullying behaviour.  Secure our region and our sovereignty by prioritising cooperation with our Indo- Pacific neighbours and family, as does on a daily basis.  To protect Australians from organised criminals by ensuring we give police and security services the resources, technology and the powers that they need.  To fight the menace of drugs – especially ICE, with coordinated law enforcement and anti-gangs initiatives.  And to protect our communities in times of natural disaster by continuing to invest more in our preparedness and capability, so we can respond quickly and help Australians get back on their feet as we are doing even as we speak right now with the disasters that face us.

So let‘s talk about that plan in a bit more detail. Economic strength and our country‘s security are interdependent. You can‘t have one without the other.

That‘s why, a fortnight ago, I released our Plan for a Stronger Economy, up in Trevor Evan‘s electorate in Brisbane.

It‘s also a straightforward plan. A plan for lower taxes and strong budgets. Backing small and family businesses and building the infrastructure that we need to support our growth and maintain our quality of life. In particular that congestion-busting infrastructure that Alan Tudge has been putting together all around the country.

It‘s a plan that has already generated more than one million jobs in less than five years, ahead of what we promised.

It‘s a plan that will deliver the essential services that Australians rely on into the future, and it‘s a plan that‘ll deliver a million and a quarter more jobs as our pledge over the next five years.

But it‘s also a plan that will ensure that we can underwrite our Government‘s commitment to keeping Australians safe and secure.

This is our objective. This is our plan.

Australia‘s national security is also intertwined with that of the Indo-Pacific region.

Australia and our partners face diverse security threats that challenge our interests, from North Korea‘s long-range missiles and nuclear programs, to state fragility, and radical Islamist terrorism in our own region.

We want to see an open, rules-based Indo-Pacific where the rights of all states are respected.

75

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA So my Government, our Government is strengthening our partnerships in the region and beyond, to protect our security and our sovereignty, consistent with the 2017 Foreign Policy White Paper.

Our step-up in the Pacific reflects a simple reality - the Pacific is our home and our Pacific neighbours are our family. They are fuh mouh, they are vuvale, as we‘ve spoken about in the region.

We are working with our neighbours and others to support the Pacific‘s long-term stability and economic prospects, by re-focusing our aid budget on our neighbourhood, and supporting infrastructure development and bolstering maritime security capability, just to name a few.

When we took office in 2013 coming into government, Defence spending was at an all-time low. In 2012-13, as a share of our economy, it was just 1.56 per cent - the lowest level since 1938. Shameful.

Under our Government, we are delivering the biggest rebuild of our armed forces and their capability in a generation, and boosting Defence spending to 2 per cent of GDP by 2020-21 ahead of our promise.

The rebuild is based on the strategy laid out in our 2016 Defence White Paper - investing over $200 billion in our defence capability over the next decade.

A doubling of the submarine fleet, a new fleet of nine frigates, as well as a new fleet of 12 offshore patrol vessels and 21 Pacific Patrol Boats.

All 54 vessels will be built here in Australia - built by Australian workers with Australian steel.

It is one of the biggest naval transformations occurring anywhere in the world today - a stark contrast, I must say, with Labor‘s failure to commission a single naval vessel when they were in office for six years. Asleep at the wheel.

And earlier today, Chris Pyne and I, together with other ministers who were there, signed our Strategic Partnership Agreement with the French Defence Minister which delivers on our commitment to build 12 new submarines. And , the Premier of , had a particularly big smile on his face, as he should. But so should all Premiers, because this work extends right around the country.

The Air Force will gain unprecedented combat capacity through the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program.

And the Army is getting new body armour, weapons, night fighting equipment and new Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicles, which I know 3rd Brigade up there in Lavarack, Townsville are very, very excited about, particularly Brigadier Winter.

Operation Sovereign Borders has been one, I would argue, of Australia‘s greatest national security policy successes.

76

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA I have had the privilege to lead it, as has Peter Dutton. I know what compromise and poorly thought through changes can do to our borders. Labor proposes to do both, again. They have learned nothing from their failures on border protection.

Our successful border protection framework has three core elements, and you‘ve heard me say it before, but it bears repeating.

First, the denial of permanent residence and therefore citizenship to people who illegally enter Australia.

This was achieved by the restoration of temporary protection visas when we came to government. Labor has promised to abolish them.

When Labor did this in August 2008, thinking it would make no difference, it fired the starter‘s gun for the boats to return, and the deaths, and the tragedy and the chaos.

Secondly, regional processing of people who seek to illegally enter Australia.

This is conducted at the regional processing facilities.

Labor have already voted in the Senate, as you know, to undermine these arrangements by removing authority for transfers to Australia from the Government. They will abolish regional processing as we know it.

And thirdly, disrupting people smuggling activities through the supply chain, as General Molan and I know as we did all those years ago, right up that chain using a web of intelligence and regional cooperation and the physical turn-back of boats.

Operation Sovereign Borders has worked, it‘s delivered a human dividend that is both compassionate and fair.

 We’ve stopped the deaths at sea – there were over 1,200 that we know of;  We’ve closed 19 detention centres;  We’ve removed all children from detention - remember over 8,000 were put into detention under the previous government - and the last four children on Nauru have their bags packed for the US. All the children are off Nauru;  We’ve expanded our humanitarian program;  And here’s some figures you might not have heard. Right from the outset, and I did this, as did Peter and David Coleman now following, we have expanded our Women at Risk program, which has seen 7,046 women and children find safe refuge in Australia since 2013.

That‘s what strong border protection delivers when it comes to human beings.

Our plan is simple. We won‘t change it, not one jot. Labor will.

Our Government will also continue to do everything that must be done to combat radical extremist Islamist terrorism.

77

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA So far our record includes 12 tranches of national security legislation passed.

But I‘ve got to say, on almost every occasion, Labor has been dragged to support this vital legislation and then only, having sought to water it down, try and claim bipartisanship.

$2.2 billion in extra funding for our law enforcement, intelligence and security agencies. Restoring what was stripped away.

Funding for 100 more intelligence experts, over 100 more tactical response and covert surveillance operators and almost 100 forensic experts at the AFP.

$294 million to upgrade airport security around the country, including in regional airports, and $45 million in programs to counter radicalisation.

The creation of a new Office of National Intelligence and the Home Affairs Department, the expansion of the Australian Cyber Security Centre, and a significant boost in resources, all of this will ensure that our security agencies are stronger and better coordinated and integrated.

In the wake of the Burke Street terrorist attack, I decided more needed to be done when it came to countering radicalisation. I met with Muslim leaders in Sydney and I have since approved another $14 million, working with David Coleman as the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, for additional programmes to work with local community organisations and Muslim leaders who are prepared to take a stand. These are brave people, to prevent radicalisation destroying their own communities.

But the achievement we can take most comfort from is that since 2014, our security agencies have disrupted 14 major terrorist plots.

90 people have been charged with counter-terrorism offences, and hundreds of Australian families have loved ones with them - instead of facing grief, pain and loss because of the excellent work of our security agencies.

And under laws passed by our Government, we have stripped 12 terrorists of Australian citizenship.

That‘s what keeping Australia safe looks like.

We might not thwart every attempt by terrorists to damage our democracy, but we have put our intelligence and security services on the best possible footing to do so.

Our Government is also fully engaged in working together to combat violence against women. And I acknowledge Kelly O‘Dwyer who is here today, and I acknowledge the work she has done, as well as Paul Fletcher in this area as the Minister for Social Services.

As I said before, it must stop.

78

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Nearly ten years ago, state and federal governments came together with the community to put in place the first National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and Children.

The Fourth Action Plan will be finalised in the middle of this year.

But where immediate action is needed we have delivered, including committing a further $20 million just in the past year for 1800RESPECT.

Today I am announcing the first of the Commonwealth measures towards the Action Plan - a $60 million investment in emergency accommodation and $18 million of continued support for state and territory governments to keep women and children safe in their homes.

These two measures reflect two important principles, and I can reflect on this back from my time in Social Services Minister, as Paul knows very well.

We can‘t ask women and children to leave dangerous homes if they have no place to go. And where it is safe, women and children survivors should be helped to remain in their homes and in their communities. You‘ve got to be safe in your own home.

We have listened to the frontline workers and survivors throughout the consultations we have had over the past year.

That is why one focus of our measures also we‘ll be announcing soon will be on prevention - on changing the attitudes to violence, and on helping those who think violence is an option, to stop.

This new commitment will build on the more than $350 million our Government has invested since 2015 to stop this violence against women and children.

Our Government has also been at the forefront of efforts to keep children safe online with over $100 million invested so far.

Mitch Fifield will know that we‘ve done this with the creation of the world‘s first eSafety Commissioner who has tough powers to take down cyberbullying content, by funding new resources to support parents, and are making a new $10 million investment to allow charities like the Alannah and Madeline Foundation and the Carly Ryan Foundation to develop new tools to protect children online.

We have passed Carly‘s Law that makes it a crime for an adult to use carriage services in relation to sexual activity with a minor.

And we have provided almost $69 million to establish the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation, which is a national approach led by the AFP, championed by Peter Dutton, to combat a global epidemic of child abuse. We‘re serious about this stuff, we are very serious.

79

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Our Government will continue to take action also to protect Australians from criminals.

Across my time as Immigration Minister and on Peter Dutton‘s watch and now on David‘s watch, we have cancelled the visas of the equivalent of the gaol population of South Australia, Tasmania and the combined.

We have cancelled the visas of 4,150 dangerous criminals, sent them packing. In six years, Labor cancelled just 643 visas. Labor were soft.

We cancelled around 800 last year alone.

That included 13 murderers, 34 rapists and sex offenders, 53 for domestic violence, 56 for armed robbery, and 100 child sex offenders, punted by our Government.

Specifically, we have cancelled the visas of more than 300 child sex offenders and stopped hundreds more at the border.

We have introduced a national approach to strip criminals of their illegally obtained wealth no matter which jurisdiction they operate in, which strikes at the heart of organised crime. And I particularly acknowledge Michael Keenan for his work when he was Minister on those issues.

We‘re giving our law enforcement agencies the tools to read the encrypted messages that violent criminals and child sex offenders are currently using to evade detection, and we had to fight for it in the Parliament to make sure we got it. We are also seeking to legislate to ensure that police have appropriate powers to assess and disrupt potential security and criminal threats at airports.

Our Government is taking an uncompromising approach to fighting the menace of drugs.

Last financial year, the AFP and seized more than 17 tonnes of drugs and precursors at the border.

The AFP assisted its international counterparts to seize more than 28 tonnes of drugs and precursors offshore. All of these efforts are protecting lives from being destroyed by drugs in our communities.

The scourge of ICE is one that I know affects communities right across Australia, not least the families and children of ICE addicts.

The Government has invested $450 million to help these communities fight the impacts of ICE, including funding for more than 220 Local Drug Action Teams.

Our joined-up strategy includes international cooperation to stop drugs at their source, with enhanced intelligence sharing, as well as better controls on precursor chemicals and stronger law enforcement.

80

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA In total, we are also providing more than $720 million over four years to help communities reduce the impact of drug and alcohol misuse. Forgive me for listing such a long list of actions, but there‘s a long list there in terms of what we‘ve been doing.

But finally, let me talk about natural disasters. It‘s our job, together with States and Territories and local government, to support Australians when nature doesn‘t.

We are investing in our national emergency capability and resilience through the government‘s Preparing Australia Package – with support for emergency text alerts, aerial firefighting and bushfire shelters, which have come in very useful, as Linda and I have seen in recent weeks and months.

At the national level we have contracted over 130 aerial firefighting assets for this season, bringing the total to over 500 aerial assets available when state resources are counted.

Emergency Management Australia administer, on average, about $1 billion in disaster recovery payments each year, as well as operate our 24/7 Crisis Coordination Centre.

Our Government is also now funding up to 75 per cent of disaster assistance to individuals and communities, most of which is provided through State and Territory Governments. So up there in Townsville at the moment, those state agencies that are providing payments, 75 per cent of that is being funded by the Commonwealth Government, not just the individual payments that we do on top of that.

And once again we have seen the best of Australians in response to these recent fires and floods. It‘s no surprise, but it never loses how impressive it is.

And I particularly want to thank, on behalf of our country all of the volunteer emergency services personnel, to state and territory governments, to the ADF, who have just been doing an extraordinary job, an extraordinary job, all around the country, for all that they have done. It‘s just not what they do, it‘s when they show up, it lifts the spirits of those who need help.

As of 5pm yesterday, over 32 thousand claims for disaster relief payments have been processed in Townsville alone, in just one week. And we have already paid over $39 million in assistance, just in one week. That‘s cash straight into the pockets of those impacted by the floods.

Further, effective 11am today, we have extended the availability of disaster recovery payments to eight shires across Western Queensland - the funds will start flowing immediately and Centrelink are putting people on the ground ready to process it immediately.

This morning I again spoke, as I said, with the mayors of the flood impacted shires in Western Queensland where we are seeing a national disaster unfold in terms of damage to our beef and cattle industries.

81

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA As a result, and further to my announcement of Category D assistance, which is national disaster status - there is no technical national disaster declaration in any act. Category D is what it is, there is a national disaster unfolding in northern Queensland. And we announced that assistance on Friday, and today I am announcing that my Government will provide an immediate ex-gratia payment of $1 million to each of the affected shires. That is necessary for them to just get on and do the enormous amount of work they need to support their communities. They raised it with me this morning, it‘s announced by this afternoon.

This payment will be for them to use on the priorities that they deem most urgent - whether that be rate relief for impacted properties, reconstruction of infrastructure, or the disposal of cattle that have perished, which is being coordinated and also assisted by the ADF.

Our disaster assistance funding to North Queensland in response to this flood is already over $100 million, in addition to massive support from the ADF.

I want those farmers to know up there in North Queensland that we will stand with them all the way through this disaster, but we will be standing with you on the other side as you rebuild the great prosperity that we know is there for you in the future. We will be there to rebuild with you.

So in conclusion, national security is all about making the right decisions. Because, as a Government and as a Prime Minister, you make them every single day.

You make these decisions - this is how I make them - based on your values, what you believe, your instincts, your experience and, when required, courage.

Our Government has demonstrated we have the mettle to make the right calls on our nation‘s security:

 Repairing our borders;  Investing in our defence forces;  Deporting violent criminals;  Taking on domestic violence to protect the women and children in this country;  Disrupting terrorist attacks.

We have led, we haven’t followed.

We have taken decisions rather than put them off to another day.

And we have embraced tough calls rather than seeking to buy weak compromises for the purpose of politics.

This is our form, not just of our Government. But as Michael McCormack knows, the Deputy Prime Minister, the form of Liberal National Coalition Governments going back 70 years.

It is why we are trusted.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA The plan I have announced today is built on our strong record and sets out plainly what a re-elected Morrison Liberal Nationals Government will continue to do to keep Australians safe and secure.

5 afr bussines summit adress

Thank you very much, it‘s a great pleasure to be here. Can I acknowledge the traditional owners, their elders past and present and emerging. Can I also acknowledge any ex-servicemen or women who are with us today and those who are serving still. Could I acknowledge also , the Trade Minister who‘s here with us this morning, and Simon is here fresh back from signing the Free Trade Agreement up in Indonesia yesterday. It‘s wonderful that you‘re able to join us this morning, Simon, and of course , a predecessor of my own portfolio. Ten surpluses, we‘re looking forward to adding to that tally in a months‘ time when Josh hands down his first budget, which will be a surplus and that‘ll be the first time that‘s happened in 12 years. It‘s a long way back when the country takes a different course and we‘ll be able to say that we‘ve righted that course when we set up at the budget this year. I also want to acknowledge the support of BHP for this AFR Business Summit.

This year‘s Summit has, rightly, put trust at the centre of discussions. Trust is the currency of a strong and prosperous economy. We all have a stake in ensuring high public trust in our economic institutions and it‘s no secret that big business, in particular, finds itself under unprecedented scrutiny. The need to restore trust with customers, employees, the suppliers, the wider community is preoccupying boardrooms all across Australia.

As former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has written, high trust societies are richer, they‘re happier, not least because trust enables efficient trade and commerce by allowing markets to function better and I think Stephen hit that right on the head when he said that. On the other hand, low levels of trust generate pressure for more laws to regulate business activities and practices. Trust is also the currency of politics, our public discourse and our policy decision-making. The public, rightly, want to assess your record. They want to assess your plans. They want to know what you believe. They want to know about what you seek to do in the future and your basis is or your claims to what you want to achieve. And with the election approaching, Australians are beginning to focus on the choice that is in front of them. They are beginning to focus on the records, the beliefs and the plans of the alternatives and what the means, importantly, for the economy that they will live in for the next decade.

I just want to pause on this point. The next election, just like in 2007, will have a profound impact on the economy that Australians and families and small family businesses all around the country, it will impact on the economy they will live in. The economy is not a theory, it‘s something that affects every day of your life. And just one term of a Labor Government can change the economic course and the economy each and every Australian will live in.

83

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA So, I welcome this scrutiny. I think it‘s time for that scrutiny. Our Government, of course, has been under that scrutiny, as it should. We are the Government. But equally, as you go into an election, it‘s important that the alternative plans are put under the same scrutiny and an understanding of what the impacts are for the decade ahead. Labor can do a lot of damage. They only need one term – only one term to really stuff it up. We had two terms we‘ve had to fix over the last six years and will have a profound effect on the next decade. So, I welcome this scrutiny because the Coalition does have a strong record – a clear set of beliefs and I welcome it because the Coalition has a strong record, clear beliefs and a comprehensive plan to keep our economy strong, to keep Australians safe, and to continue to bring Australians together. Scrutiny will be important more than ever this year because the stakes are higher than ever, as they always are in every election. The contrast between the economic plan of the Coalition and Labor, as I said, is greater than it has been, I think, in 40 years – in a generation and more.

In the past, there was at least some degree of convergence on our economic direction as a country. There was broad recognition about the modernisation of Australia‘s economy resting on some key pillars – balanced budgets, competitive tax rates, low inflation, competition reform, enterprise bargaining, trade, opening it up, playing to our economic strengths including, can I stress, our traditional sectors in agriculture, in resources, in forestry, in mining. Things that we don‘t shy away from as a Government, that we understand their critical importance to the future of our economy. We don‘t think it‘s a good thing when any of these sectors face markets with strong headwinds. We don‘t think that‘s wonderful like the Labor Party does. The dividend for Australian households from this economic modernisation has been substantial over the last 30 years. Between 1960 and 1991, the Australian economy had six recessions. Since 1991, Australia has enjoyed 27 years of uninterrupted economic growth – this is an extraordinary achievement. It is arguably our most significant national achievement. Half the Australians voting at this election – half, more than half – will never have experienced a recession during their working life. They would never have had to face 18 per cent interest rates as they look for a mortgage, as they started a young family. They would have never had been in a job market where there was a recession and looking for a job or trying to keep their job or looking for their wages. It would have never happened. More than half. So, it‘s important that we understand the economy is real and it has real implications for every single Australian and if you make the wrong calls, then that will punish Australians – every household, every business, each and every Australian.

Our real GDP has grown faster than any other advanced economy over that period. Real GDP per capita has risen around 60 per cent since the early 1990s. This compares with an average rise of 44 per cent in the US, Japan, Germany, Canada and the UK. We‘ve seen strong income growth across the income distribution sector. In the context of globalisation and rapid technological change, this has been a singular achievement of what I have called ‗the modern Australian compact‘. A compact where the tax-transfer system reduces income inequality in Australia by more than 40 per cent, according to the official statistics of the Australian Bureau of Statistics. A compact where the top 10 per cent of taxpayers pay almost half of personal income tax and where the bottom 10 per cent of households by income has achieved the highest income growth of any group since the Global Financial Crisis. These are

84

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA facts about our economy. This is the truth about what is happening in ou r economy. Not the myths, not the fairy tales, not the sentimental stories, but the hard facts of what is happening in our economy. A compact where, according to Peter Whiteford from the Australian National University, social security benefits are targeted to the poor more than in any other high-income country today.

We have a good system, we do have a fair system and the facts back that up. Over the past five and a half years and in the wake of a massive fall in mining investment, our Government has worked to sustain economic growth and secure a more diversified economy. Let‘s not forget that mining investment boom moved $80 billion out of the Australian economy. To fall off the edge of the mining investment boom was a far more devastating factor impacting our Australian economy than the GFC. And over that period of time, as it impacted incomes significantly, we have been able to ensure the economy has continued to grow and, importantly, we have maintained our AAA credit rating throughout that entire period at a time that it has been under greatest threat.

Speaking of trust, we pledged to create one million jobs five and a half years ago. And we met that target before time, and we exceeded it. More than 1.2 million jobs have been created since 2013 in September. Those jobs were created by businesses – by growing a stronger economy, businesses were able to grow and employ people. In 2013 under Labor, unemployment was at 5.7 per cent and going that way, north. Today, it is 5 per cent, what some call the natural rate, and Australia‘s jobs growth is now faster than in all G7 countries. Our employment to population ratio for those aged 15 to 64, the working age population, is at a record 74.2 per cent. This is the best result since records began more than 40 years ago. More people of working age are in work than in any other time in our history and as you can see in the chart, it‘s been a long way back.

The female participation rate is at a record high. So too is the participation rate for Australians aged over 65. Welfare dependency is at the lowest level for three decades. More people in work, less people on welfare – that‘s what Coalition economic policy delivers. Armed with this record, we have now set ourselves the goal of creating another 1.25 million jobs over the next five years – that‘s my jobs pledge to the Australian people. And as you‘ve just heard from the record, that is a claim, a pledge that we can make with some credibility. At the same time, we have fixed the budget mess we inherited in 2013 and turned the corner on debt and maintained our AAA credit rating. When we came to office, the budget had a deficit of $47 billion, or a 3 per cent share of the size of our economy.

In 2019-20, the Budget will finally return to surplus. It hasn‘t been an easy path, it has been a long road back to both fiscally consolidate while at the same time growing the economy when there had been [inaudible] of mining investment in the country. These are the three things that had to be very carefully managed. Our discipline, fiscally, will ensure these surpluses exceed 1 per cent of GDP over the medium term. Real spending growth under our Government is at the lowest level for half a century – more than 50 years of any Government. The hard work of getting the budget back into surplus though is only the start – we need to restore the balance sheet to where it

85

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA was prior to the GFC so that we‘re well placed to handle whatever the global economy throws at us in the future.

The buffers that were created by the Howard-Costello Government, not just the fiscal ones but the regulatory ones around our banking and financial system, were the critical factors that ensured that we were able to move through the GFC at the time. And we need to get back into that space. The Government is committed to eliminating net debt over the next decade and it will take that long and it will be quite a challenge to achieve. This should now be the focus of our government‘s fiscal management and it will be, paying down the debts of the past in order to grow the economy of tomorrow. That is our intergenerational pledge – securing our future by keeping a lid on taxes and restraining expenditure to support confidence right across the economy and, in particular, amongst business.

Obviously, the finishing line of zero net debt is in the distance, but we need to stay the course. In the same way, we will steadfastly work toward getting ourselves back in the balance. We will work steadfastly to achieve this goal also. So, this is not a time to experiment with economic management. We has seen these experiments before under Labor. They don‘t end well for anybody. Our proven track record on the economy is one that we‘ve worked hard to achieve over the last five and a half years. It honours the legacy of that which we‘ve inherited from the Howard-Costello Government. And we‘ve maintained it, and we need to maintain this course. Why? Because, as we know, in recent months, the global economy has slowed, the risks have risen, at least compared with those we‘ve faced in last 18 months or so.

Both the IMF and World Bank have lowered their global growth forecasts since our mid-year update. The World Bank warns of darkening skies given global financing conditions have tightened, industrial production has moderated and the threat of protectionism remains high. There are a few own goals out there in the global economy. It warns that a simultaneous sharp slowdown in both the United States and China could have severe consequences for the global outlook and these are very obvious points. Meanwhile, domestically, we have seen dwelling prices fall in our major capitals, a correction, with prices down 10.4 per cent in Sydney and 9.1 per cent in Melbourne. The Reserve Bank Governor has been able to put these into context. We have been able to achieve, I think, a soft lending to date in the housing market. It was very over-heated, particularly in the Sydney and Melbourne markets, we know that and the measures and factors that have been in play have ensured that softening. Had it been a hard landing, the implications for our economy we all understand would have been quite dire.

This only underlines why we can‘t take Australia‘s unbroken run of economic growth for granted. Why we must do more to make our economy even stronger. Why we have taken the hard work of rebuilding the Budget position. Prudent fiscal management has allowed us to turn the Budget around while also I should stress investing record levels in defence, in health, in aged care, in education, all essential services that Australians rely on. Our investments in all of these essential services – 2,000 affordable medicines on the PBS without increasing taxes. The investments that I‘ll announce today on domestic violence, important, bi-partisan commitments. The only difference is, I‘ll be announcing them without increased taxes.

86

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Education funding at record levels, bulk billing for Medicare at record levels without increasing taxes. I believe the way you control expenditure is actually controlling how much you tax. We should only take from the Australian public, from their efforts, as much as we absolutely need to deliver those essential services that Australians rely on. We shouldn‘t have to take more in the event that you can‘t manage all your other expenditure, which is what we see the Labor Party do. Why are they going to tax you more? Because they can‘t manage the budget, so we‘ll just tax them to cover up for all the other wasted expenditure.

That‘s why we‘re not raising taxes because we‘ve kept a tension on the cord across all other levels of spending. This has allowed us to unlock the largest infrastructure pipeline in terms of our economic management and what we‘ve invested in. Our $75 billion infrastructure plan is delivering much needed growth and nation-building capacity to all parts of Australia. In many ways, it‘s been filling the gap left by the retreat in mining investment. That means less congested roads in our urban areas, so families can spend more time with each other, rather than get stuck in traffic. The new Western Sydney International, I‘m pleased to say the Nancy-Bird Walton Airport which we announced yesterday, is breaking a deadlock that has eluded governments for generations, decades upon decades upon decades.

Our $5 billion investment in Tulla Rail in Melbourne will transform and reshape that city. A new network for Eastern Australia will enhance the national freight network – creating jobs, reducing supply chain costs and connecting cities and regional Australia to markets faster, safer and more efficiently. Snowy 2.0, MarinusLink and Tasmania‘s Battery of the Nation will not only create jobs where we need them but it will firm Australia‘s record investment in renewable energy for the future so there won‘t be dumping and shedding of renewable energy from the grid and will put downward pressure on electricity prices.

A big part of keeping Australians together is opening up new opportunities in regional Australia – through this better infrastructure, digital connectivity and the like. Our Government is determined that Australia grows together, not apart, and the key to that is the strength of our economy. All these investments are being fully funded as I said without an increase in taxes. The Coalition has embedded Australia into the major economic engines of our region through transformational trade agreements with Japan, Korea, China, and 10 other nations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and we now include Indonesia where Simon has just returned from inking that agreement.

Since the Coalition was elected, the coverage of our free trade agreements has increased from 26 per cent of our total two-way trade to 70 per cent. 26 per cent to 70 per cent – that is a massive opening up of our trade opportunities for small and family businesses in particular around Australia. New export deals have given Australian exporters duty-free or preferential access to an extra 1.8 billion customers in the world‘s fastest and largest growing markets. This is the most effective hedge an open trading economy like Australia can adopt against the new protectionist sentiment prevailing around the world. And that I think is where Australia has a story, often going against the grain and ensuring that we‘re opening up our opportunities where others might be seeking to close them off.

87

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA But there is more to do. As I said, an uncertain global economic outlook means Australia‘s economic fortunes will depend even more on the quality of our economic management. We will continue to be an ambitious, pro-growth government, supporting individuals, families and businesses looking to get ahead and prosper. We‘re all for that. We don‘t think you have to pull some people down to raise other people up. That‘s not our view. We believe a stronger economy can raise everybody up and I think that‘s one of the key differences between our Government and the Labor Party and what they‘re offering for the next election.

We will stay the course with policies that achieve this and we will ensure that those policies, our plan for a stronger economy, is in place. Strong budgets so Governments live within their means. Lower taxes, open trade, backing small businesses, promoting cooperative workplaces based on the rule of law, sensible climate policy alongside reliable, affordable energy supply. Investing in infrastructure, investing in the skills that are necessary, backing all of our industries to be world-class – not just the shiny, bright new ones – they‘re fantastic, love them, they‘re great, love them, fantastic, Blockchain, high tech, all of them are doing so well – but so is resources, so is agriculture, so is forestry and the jobs that they produce all around the country. It‘s an incredibly important part of our economic future.

What we also won‘t do is we won‘t tax this economy beyond what it can bare. I put in place as Treasurer a tax cap – 23.9 per cent of the economy. This is important. That says that we believe if you go above that, you hold you economy back. It‘s a sheet anchor. It holds every Australian back. I urge you to look for a number when the budget comes out and when the Labor Party puts their figures forward. What will be in the share of taxes of the economy under Labor? I can tell you what is was for the last election – it was 25.7 per cent. That meant around $50 billion a year in more tax on the Australian economy – every year, another $50 billion. And whether you‘re paying that tax or not, you‘re paying because of the impact it has on slowing the economy, the impact it has on slowing wage growth in a country. They have a plan to put $200 billion of extra taxes on Australians and I really don‘t think they understand the impact of that on the economy. All the individual measures. It doesn‘t understand the power and virtue of aspiration in our society. For our hardest aspiration is some other country, not Australia. That‘s what Labor‘s Deputy Leader has said as much – that‘s what has said.

Labor under Bill Shorten sneers at those who want to get ahead and only promises them a higher tax burden. If you work additional overtime to get ahead, Mr Shorten wants more from you, he wants higher taxes from you. If you buy an investment property to secure your family‘s economic future, which so many small and family business owners do, which so many people who live in regional parts of the country do – you know there‘s more people who negatively gear investments and have investment properties in the electorate of Capricornia based on Rockhampton than there is in my own electorate of Cook in Sydney‘s Sutherland Shire and St George. More people in Rockhampton than in Cronulla. Labor doesn‘t get that. They don‘t understand the aspiration that would lead someone to make that decision and that sacrifice to invest in their future.

88

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA If you buy some shares for your retirement, again, Mr Shorten will have his hand in your pocket through higher capital gains taxes. If you try to build a nest egg to pass on to your kids, again, he‘ll have his hand in your pocket. Mr Shorten even wants to ensure that our legislated tax cuts - $144 billion worth over the life of our tax plan will be cut in half. Stripped away. He will reverse the tax cuts that we have legislated from last year‘s budget – reverse stages two and three of that plan that will stop over $70 billion worth of tax cuts. Australians being able to keep their own money.

There are many other things that I could tell you about, but I know Phil Coorey‘s interested in asking me a few questions. But let me finish on two points. I‘ve already made the point about trade and the fact that the Labor Party is baulking again on this Indonesian Trade Agreement I think tells you that when it comes to the economy, their instincts just aren‘t there. It‘s why the China Free Trade Agreement was never completed under the Labor Party. They never took it forward. They were never able to break through. It‘s why we are able to make progress on all of those agreements including the Indonesian one today, there‘s a simple reason for that. They‘re not in control. They will answer to their masters in the union at the end of the day. That‘s why we are looking at an economy under Labor which will see [inaudible] run their businesses, through to moving back to industry-wide bargaining which takes us back to the dark ages of workplace relations in this country.

As I move around the country and I walk in and out of small and family businesses and I ask myself why are they doing so well? It‘s because they have such a wonderful relationship between their staff and the managers and owners. There‘s a commonality of purpose that exists in these organisations. They‘re all working to the same end. I don‘t want to set Australians against each other. I don‘t want to set workers against bosses. I don‘t want to set one group of Australians who have had success in life against those who are aspiring to success in life. I don‘t want to set enterprise in this country against anything. What I want to do is ensure that the economy, the economy that Australians live in, that they depend on, that their family‘s services will rely on, whether it‘s Medicare or hospitals or schools, I want to ensure, and will ensure, that it is the strongest it can possibly be in the circumstances that we are faced with.

So, it will be the most important election in decades. It certainly will. And there is a big choice to make and it‘ll impact the next 10 years of your life. Whether you‘re a business, whether you‘re raising a family, whether you‘re in retirement or entering into retirement, whether you‘re a young person coming out of university, I was one of those who entered the economy under Labor in the 1990s that went into recession. I am one of those who does know what it‘s like to live in an economy that is in recession and I did so as a young person coming out of university and others of my generation who knew what that was like. Why parents struggled with interest rates that today‘s generation can only imagine. We can‘t go back to that. We must go forward and we have the plan to take Australia there.

Thank you very much.
