My question is to the Prime Minister. Today a ninth interest rate rise since May is widely expected. Three months out from the election, the Prime Minister committed to reducing costs for families and promised: 'Australians will be better off under a Labor government.' A rate increase today would mean the typical family is paying $1,400 more each month on their mortgage, without taking into account increases in grocery and power bills. I ask the Prime Minister: why do Australian families always pay more under Labor?
