My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. The cost of living is continuing to hit many Australians hard, despite moderating inflation. People are often raising the pressure on their household budgets with me as I am out and about in South Australia. The Albanese Labor government hasn't wasted a day in implementing promises it made at the election, many of which were designed to reduce pressure on Australians in a higher-than-normal cost-of-living environment. Can the minister explain how the Albanese Labor government's policies have been providing targeted cost-of-living relief, particularly with respect to the cost of medicines?
