Thanks, Senator Smith, for the supplementary question. Under the former government, our economy wasn't delivering for Australians like it needed to. The Jobs and Skills Summit brought Australians together to address the challenges and opportunities facing the labour market and the economy, and to help reverse the trends we'd been seeing after a decade of wasted opportunity.

Our budget delivers quality investments in the capacity of the Australian economy and the capabilities of the Australian people, including fee-free TAFE and more university places. It delivers our Powering Australia plan to build a future with cleaner and cheaper energy. Understand that? That's what we need to do.
