'You'll see a budget that guarantees the essential services that Australians rely on'

It should come as little surprise that the focus of today's Question Time is the federal budget — and Prime Minister Scott Morrison has promised a "comprehensive plan to secure the economic recovery of this country".

Addressing the PM, Greens Leader Adam Bandt said that "while the rest of the country was hit hard during the pandemic, Australian billionaires' worth increased by a third".

He then asked Mr Morrison if the government would put in place a six per cent tax on billionaires' wealth and "a new super profits tax on big corporations making excessive profits" in tonight's budget.

Here's what the PM had to say:

"I won't be listening to the Greens, Mr Speaker. And neither will the Treasurer, and the Australian people, who value their jobs... who value the strength of an economy.

"The strength of an economy is what actually pays for essential services. This seems to be something that escapes the member for Melbourne and the Greens, and I suspect many who sit on that side.

"It is the strong economy, businesses going out, employing people, investing, creating jobs, creating opportunities, that drives an economy that pays for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, that pays for aged care... that pays for mental health care support, and all of the services.

"It pays for the pension, it pays for disability support, a strong economy... is what achieves that. And that is why tonight, Mr Speaker, you'll see a budget that guarantees the essential services that Australians rely on, because it's a comprehensive plan to secure the economic recovery of this country."
