I can. Thank you, Senator Payman. We know Australians are doing it really tough, which is why our first priority is delivering responsible cost-of-living relief—responsible because it needs to take some of the pressure off people but also grow the capacity of the economy and not make the Reserve Bank's job harder. A great example of this is our childcare policy, which every member on the side is so proud of, with the legislation being introduced into the house this week. This will be a game changer for family budgets, for our workforce and for the productive capacity of our economy.

We know what we stand for on this side: rock-solid support for game-changing, economy-building cheaper child care. It's a no-brainer. Surely anyone who is serious about helping the cost of living would support cheaper child care, and, surely, if you spend every day lecturing the government about the cost of living you would support that policy as well.
