I have updated the chamber this week on the Medicare urgent care clinics. We are delivering on our cheaper medicines policy, which has seen the biggest price reduction in the 75-year history of the PBS. Australians have saved $200 million on more than 18 million cheaper medicines since the start of the year.

There is also the work that we have been doing in housing with the National Housing Accord, which will invest an additional $350 million in federal funding to deliver 10,000 affordable rental homes over five years from 2024, matched by the states and territories. There is the funding we have provided through the Social Housing Accelerator and $3 billion through the new homes bonus to address 10 years of complete failure from the former Commonwealth government in the housing space which has led to some of the pressures that we are seeing today. We have our electricity bill relief, cheaper child care and cheaper medicines. I know those opposite don't like talking about cost-of-living measures, because they voted against them. (Time expired)
