My question is to the Treasurer. President of the Queensland Association of State School Principals, Patrick Murphy, has told the Senate's cost-of-living inquiry that parents are increasingly having to withdraw their kids from school opportunities because they are struggling to make ends meet. Mr Murphy said, 'We're seeing 60 per cent of kids not going on camps and excursions.' With falling disposable income and sticky high inflation hurting households, why is the Albanese Labor government fighting the Reserve Bank while Australian families are going backwards?
