The Albanese government's No. 1 priority remains addressing inflation and the cost-of-living pressures. We know that people are doing it tough, and no more so than in my electorate of Lingiari. This is a government that's committed to delivering and addressing the cost of living for everyone. It doesn't matter where they live.

I hold probably the second-largest seat in this federal parliament—1.1 million square kilometres in the Northern Territory—including regional towns like Katherine, Tennant Creek, Alice Springs, 76 major Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal people living on 500 homelands throughout stations across the Northern Territory.

People need this relief. I'm proud to be a part of this government that is providing electricity bill relief and making medicines cheaper. It's not just about the eastern seaboard; this is about people in the Northern Territory and my constituents. We're making it easier and cheaper to see a doctor. There are many, many relief packages that this government has brought through. I'm certainly proud to be part of a government delivering for those constituents in the seat of Lingiari.
