But that's not where it ends. On Monday every taxpayer gets a tax cut. Every household gets energy bill relief. Millions of Australian workers on an award will get a pay rise from Monday as well. There will be cheaper medicines from Monday, and there will also be two more weeks of paid parental leave for new parents. This is how you deliver cost-of-living relief—not by pushing up prices with more expensive nuclear reactors, which is the approach of those opposite.
