Prime Minister

Dolega opposed the motion, arguing that the government had a strong record of delivering on promises rather than making false assurances. Dolega highlighted economic achievements including tax cuts, wage increases, and job creation, noting that inflation was lower than when the government took office. Dolega also pointed to specific investments in women's safety, housing, and healthcare as evidence of the government's commitment to improving Australians' lives.

Blyth supported the motion, criticising the Prime Minister for failing to uphold standards of integrity and respect. Blyth argued that the Prime Minister had misled the public regarding his energy bill reduction promises and had reversed positions on negative gearing despite previous assurances. Blyth contended that the Prime Minister's attempts to deflect criticism and deny responsibility demonstrated a lack of trustworthiness and poor leadership.

Ruston supported the motion, asserting that the Prime Minister had a history of denying facts, such as his fall during an election campaign and his involvement in the podcast. Ruston argued that the Prime Minister had broken promises regarding power bill reductions, aged care reforms, and tax policies. Ruston claimed that the government's actions, including changes to private health insurance support and aged care assessments, were harming older Australians and contradicting previous commitments.

Stewart opposed the motion, stating that the government had delivered significant reforms for women's safety, economic security, and health. Stewart cited investments in the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children, paid domestic and family violence leave, and expanded paid parental leave with superannuation. Stewart argued that these practical outcomes contrasted with the opposition's focus on political distractions, highlighting improvements in women's workforce participation and healthcare access.

Kovacic supported the motion, arguing that the Prime Minister had failed to tell the truth about his involvement in the podcast and his policy intentions. Kovacic contended that the reversal on negative gearing and capital gains tax demonstrated a lack of integrity and transparency. Kovacic stated that the Prime Minister's refusal to admit mistakes and his pattern of misleading statements undermined public trust in government institutions.
