Question time in federal parliament

QUESTION TIME IN FEDERAL PARLIAMENT:

WHAT WE LEARNED

* Bill Shorten said in his maiden speech to parliament: "The old class war conflicts should finally be pronounced dead".

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTED TO SPIN

Labor has voted against Australian workers keeping more of the money they earn.

--

WHAT LABOR WANTED TO TALK ABOUT

Labor's tax plan offers more for Australian workers.

THEY SAID WHAT

"This has been a week of shame for the Labor Party, abandoning the people that they were founded to represent." - Malcolm Turnbull

"How is it fair that the prime minister teamed up with Senator Hanson to give themselves a $7,000 a year tax cut instead of supporting Labor's plan to give 10 million working Australians tax cut every year of up to $928 a year." - Bill Shorten
