The Treasurer and I have been talking about the inflation challenge since we came to government. The largest increase in inflation happened in the March quarter of last year under your administration when you poured $8.6 billion into the economy in six months. That wasn't inflationary then, according to you. We have a very carefully calibrated budget that looks to repair the budget over time, put it on a more sustainable footing, make the investments we need and ensure that we can support those people who are doing it really tough across the country.
