What I am highlighting is the connection between the cruel approach of those opposite when it came to robodebt and their cruel approach to trying to oppose a $40 increase. Of course, the Leader of the Opposition claimed our safety net bill would just make it more attractive to stay in unemployment. Those opposite just don't get it. The Albanese Labor government is getting on with the job of delivering more support to those Australians who rely on our social safety net. Labor built a strong social safety net, and I'm proud that this bill will further strengthen it.
