I'll take the interjection from the Leader of the National Party, who said; 'How much did it cost you—the 60-day dispensing?' What he doesn't say, and what he should interject, is: How much did people benefit? How much do pensioners benefit when they go to the pharmacy and get cheaper medicines? That's what we provided. On the one hand, they ask a question about households, and, at the same time, they interject about every single measure that we have put in place. Whether it's cheaper child care, cheaper medicines, energy price relief or tax cuts for all, all of these measures make a difference. Fee-free TAFE is making a difference. The measures that we announced yesterday they've already said they'll oppose. There's not a single cost-of-living measure that those opposite are prepared to support.
