I thank Senator Sheldon for his question. I've noticed this issue too, Senator Sheldon. Sadly, many Liberal and National Party members and senators spend their time fighting within their own party. They spend their time seeking to score cheap political points. They spend their time looking for the latest social media video instead of looking at how they can help make Australians' lives better, like the Labor Party does.

I've a message to those opposite: cheap political stunts don't help Australians with their cost-of-living challenges. They don't help put a roof over Australian families' heads and they don't make Australian lives better. It's clear from the results in New South Wales, this weekend, Australians—cheap political pointscoring. I call on all of those opposite to stop the political games and work with this government to deliver meaningful change that benefits the Australian people.
