My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind her that electricity prices in Sydney have risen 96 per cent since Labor came to power, water and sewerage prices have risen 50 per cent and insurance costs have risen 45 per cent. Given that the Prime Minister said that getting back to surplus is 'the best thing we can do to help families with cost-of-living pressures', I ask: when will her government ever, ever deliver a budget surplus?
