Well, it was the Minister for Communications. Australians are paying an extra $120 for their internet access, and the minister said, 'This is great news for consumers.' The problem is that everything is up under this government—electricity, gas, rent, food, health, education, everything. It's all going up. Now, the Albanese government is welcoming a $120 a year increase in the cost of internet access. The question is: how are families supposed to find that extra $120? Where is the money supposed to come from? People haven't got an extra $120 in the middle of this cost-of-living crisis, and this is yet another example of the shocking impact of the Albanese government's homegrown inflation.
