My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. In April 2022 the Treasurer said that Australians were experiencing 'a triple whammy of skyrocketing costs of living, falling real wages and rising interest rates'. That was said April 2022. Isn't it true that since the Treasurer made this statement the cost of living has risen even further, that interest rates are even higher and that real wages have gone backwards faster?
