My question is to the Treasurer. I understand the government is optimistic that Australia will not fall into a recession. In Fowler, charities are seeing unprecedented numbers of middle-income families needing help. Small businesses are struggling to keep up with increased costs and are not seeing the same level of customers. More people are now working a second job to meet the cost-of-living pressure. We're yet to feel the impact of the 12 interest rate hikes. How confident should the Australian public be that we're not heading into a recession, if we're not already in one?
