The Leader of the Opposition Bill Shorten moved:

That this House:

(1) censures the Liberal-National Government for misleading the Australian people before the last election and hitting Australians with its:

(a) unfair GP tax, hurting Australians every time they go to see the doctor;

(b) $100,000 university degrees, making it harder for Australians from modest backgrounds to further their education;

(c) $80 billion cuts to schools and hospitals;

(d) attack on pensions, meaning older Australian will be up to $80 a week worse off;

(e) $1 billion cuts to child care; and

(f) cuts to family payments, slashing $6,000 from a typical Australian family; and

(2) given the Prime Minister promised good government starts now, 521 days late, calls on the Government to immediately dump its:

(a) unfair GP tax;

(b) $100,000 university degrees;

(c) $80 billion cut to schools and hospitals;

(d) attack on pensions;

(e) cuts to child care; and
