I seek leave to move a motion relating to the Albanese Labor government as circulated in the chamber:

That the Senate:

Notes that:

(a) Senator Farrell has demonstrated how out of touch the Albanese Labor Government is when it comes to cost-of-living pressures on Australian households and businesses when he said, "I do not follow power prices…closely".

(b) Senator Farrell has demonstrated that the Albanese Labor Government has no real plan to address cost-of-living pressures on Australian households and businesses; and

(c) Condemns the Albanese Labor Government for breaking its promises to Australians by:

i. failing to deliver its promised $275 reduction in power bills;

ii. failing to deliver its promised cheaper mortgages;

iii. failing to honour its promise to not change superannuation taxes;

iv. failing to honour its promise to not change taxes on franking credits;

v. failing to honour its promise to deliver real wage increases;

vi. failing to honour its promise to lower cost-of-living pressures; and

vii. failing to categorically rule out breaking its promise to honour the legislated stage 3 tax cuts in full.
