My question is to the Treasurer. At a press conference in Homebush on 29 April 2022, the Treasurer said, 'On every shelf in every shop in every suburb'—maybe he can name one—'is a reminder of the cost-of-living crisis.' This government has an excuse for everything. They want to talk about international comparisons. Australians couldn't give a stuff what inflation is in the United States. Will the Treasurer apologise to families in Western Sydney who have had nine rate rises under this government, making it even harder for them and their children?
