Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Like other governments in the past, what we will do is hand down our budget—

in 40 days time, the Treasurer said—it will be a good one. What we'll be aiming at doing there is addressing the short-term pressures that are on cost of living. And you'll see those measures, including our energy price relief plan, including, of course, the other plans budgeted for: cheaper child care, cheaper medicines—all of those measures. But you'll also see the funding of plans that are based upon dealing with the medium- and longer-term challenges in our economy—dealing with the pressures that are on the health system; dealing with pressures that are on supply chains, through our National Reconstruction Fund; dealing with skills and making sure that people can get appropriate training and education going forward as well.
