I'd like to thank the shadow Treasurer, the member for Hume, for bringing this very important matter of public importance to the House: the inflation crisis which has been caused by those opposite, the Albanese Labor government. I am a little bit disappointed. As a matter of fact, I'm very disappointed, because every time you ask serious questions of those opposite about matters that are affecting the Australian people—the people that I love, and the people that I represent—all they do is smirk and laugh. We have the Treasurer there smiling and laughing when we ask these very, very important questions, and the Prime Minister doing the same. And they're supposed to be leading this country. But—no, no, no—that's not what they're doing. They think it's funny.

Effectively, this Albanese Labor government has inherited a very, very strong economic tree.
