From those that opposed almost every single measure that goes to supporting households, it might work into your narrative—your no-solutions, blocking narrative—but, every single thing that we have taken to this chamber to make a difference and to ease pressures on households, you have complained about, argued against and then voted against. That's what you have done.

We are assisting families with child care. We are making medicines cheaper. We are ensuring that people get relief on their energy bills. These are all things that make a difference to people's households and how they manage their budgets day to day. I think the Australian people recognise they have a government that doesn't want to just have the photo ops that your government was so famous for—you couldn't get in the way of Mr Morrison and a camera—and that actually delivers on the change this country needs, including in the area of energy and climate change, which was so needlessly abandoned in the previous decade.
