Final
Parliamentary Sitting Week
30 November 2014
This coming week is the last
sitting week of the Parliament for this year.
2014 has been an important year
for Australia.
The Government has put in place
key parts of our Economic Action Strategy to build a strong and prosperous
economy and a safe and secure Australia.
Only a stronger economy will
generate more jobs, lift household living standards and give our country a
better future.
2014 has been a year of
achievement that’s already benefiting families and small businesses.
The carbon tax is gone, saving
the average household $550 a year.
We have delivered the biggest cut
in electricity prices on record which is good news for everyone saving for
Christmas.
The mining tax is gone so this
vital sector can create more jobs.
Our $50 billion infrastructure
programme is underway. This includes major projects right around Australia to
save you time and money.
We’re cutting red tape – with $2
billion in red tape savings already identified and we’re turbo charging trade
with our neighbours by delivering Free
Trade Agreements with Japan, Korea and China. This means more exports, more
jobs and lower prices for families. And we’re working with Australian
businesses to ensure we’re taking advantage of these new opportunities.
We took on the responsibility for
fixing Labor’s Budget mess and we are getting spending under control.
We’ve also passed our Direct Action Plan which will make a
practical difference to the environment – without slugging you with a carbon
tax.
The Green Army has been
established and is already restoring degraded bush and cleaning up polluted
waterways.
Major projects worth $1 trillion
have been given environmental approval – which will provide many of the jobs of
tomorrow.
The NBN is being rolled out – in
a way which is fast, more affordable, and less costly to taxpayers.
And we’ve kept Australia safe.
We’ve all but stopped the boats
which many claimed was impossible.
We’ve responded to the threat of
extremism with new counter-terrorism measures because our duty is to do
everything we humanly can to keep you safe.
We all have reason to be
confident in 2015 – confidence based in policies that will encourage jobs, help
families and build a better Australia. |
