I thank Senator Grogan for the supplementary question. As Senator Grogan outlined, this is just one part of our cost-of-living plan. Complementing the tax plan—the tax relief that we'll roll out on 1 July with the support of Senator Hume and others—the Albanese government is delivering real cost-of-living relief, much of which is opposed by those opposite. We do accept that the tax plan was initially opposed, and then they said: 'Oh, I don't know about this. We'd better crabwalk away from that opposition on this one.' But they did oppose electricity bill relief. They did oppose making medicines cheaper. They did oppose making it easier and cheaper to see a doctor. They did oppose the Housing Australia Future Fund and the effort that we're putting in there. I believe they may have as well opposed fee-free TAFE. With all of these measures that go to make a difference to Australian households, we've had opposition from those opposite.
