In Morrison's speech he says it's the quiet everyday Australians who have won this election. Wrong. It's the whinging few using loopholes your LNP govt created so the rest of us pay them $6bill per yr in franking credits. The few who shouted so loud you could lie about NEW TAXES.
Now you going to not pay taxes and penalty rates for next 3 years
Lynny_Pinnie Rename your party to the Divided Australia Party because that is all you've done.
