I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. Indeed Australians, when they went to their chemist at any time from 1 January, were better off because of the reduction from $42.50 down to $30, the first reduction in 75 years. Australians who want to get the skills that Australia needs will also benefit when they enrol in a TAFE course, because 180,000 of them will be fee-free as a result of the measures that we have put in place. Australians who have children in child care also will be better off as a result of the measures that will benefit some 1.2 million Australian families in July. The fact is we are acting responsibly.
