Investigate Labor's record for yourself

There are many things Julia Gillard and we as Liberals may agree on: reward for hard work, support for families, encouragement for small business and aiming to secure our future.

But what really matters to Australians are the clear differences that exist between Labor and the Liberals on how these goals are achieved, and who is actually able to achieve them. It’s not about what Ms Gillard says now - it’s about the way Labor operates and who can deliver.
