We hear you, we see you, and we understand the pressures families are facing. And that's why we've delivered tangible cost-of-living relief. We have cut taxes for every Australian, provided $300 in energy rebates and increased wages for workers by the highest rate in two decades. While Labor delivers real cost-of-living relief, the Liberals are distracted by overseas issues and secret plans to cut vital services like pensions, Medicare and housing. Only Labor is focused here at home. We've frozen the cost of PBS medicines, made childcare more affordable and funded 500,000 fee-free TAFE courses. Rental assistance is up by 43 per cent. We are bringing manufacturing back onshore, and we have expanded bulk-billing to ensure better healthcare access. On top of that, we are providing $3 billion in student debt relief, and we are cracking down on dodgy behaviour at supermarkets by empowering the ACCC. We are delivering for families and tackling the cost of living.
