The people of Lalor, like the people of Dunkley, are doing it tough. We all know that in this place. People around the country are facing cost-of-living issues. I'm really proud to be a member of an Albanese Labor government that is addressing these issues step by step: cheaper medicines, cheaper child care, tripling the bulk-billing incentive. Wherever we can see a way to help we are doing it. We're also providing tax cuts to every taxpayer in Australia. This is critical in an electorate like mine, where families really need that kind of support. While those opposite smear, scare and cut, we on this side are getting on with the business of delivering solutions for this country. I am really proud that the people of Lalor can rely on me, like the people of Dunkley relied on Peta Murphy to deliver for people doing it tough in this country.
