We understand the pressures on living standards, and that's why we're doing something about them. That's why we're rolling out cost-of-living support that those opposite don't support. That's why we're giving a tax cut to every taxpayer, which those opposite wanted to call an election over. That's why we're helping people with their energy bills. That's why we're helping with what people pay at the pharmacy. It's why we're providing rent assistance. It's why we're doing cheaper early childhood education. It's why we're getting wages moving again after a decade of deliberate wage stagnation and wage suppression.
