Australian Families – zero from Labor

Labor’s Budget Reply Speech tonight offered nothing for the vast majority of Australians.

Families didn’t even get a mention from Kevin Rudd.

What did Labor offer Australia’s seniors?

Nothing.

What did Labor offer Australia’s carers?

Nothing.

What did Labor offer Australia’s families?

Nothing.

And not one initiative on child care.

Kevin Rudd might be proud of his plan of early childhood education, but he’s already admitted it won’t reduce costs for parents, while Jenny Macklin claims it will.

Labor doesn’t even know the impact of its own policies.

Labor has failed Australian families.
