I thank Senator Sheldon for the question. I also acknowledge Wacka in the gallery. I'm sure he's been missing us very much.

Under the Albanese Labor government there are more people in jobs, they're earning more and, with our tax plan, they'll keep more of what they earn. Labor's tax cuts will deliver a tax cut for every Australian taxpayer. That's 13.6 million people. Labor's tax cut will deliver a bigger tax cut for Middle Australia to help with the cost of living. This builds on our other measures to target cost-of-living relief while not adding to inflation. Despite opposition from the Liberals and Nationals, we've already delivered electricity bill relief. We've made medicines cheaper. We're making it easier and cheaper to see a doctor. There's cheaper child care. We're expanding parental leave. We're building more social and affordable homes and we're increasing rent assistance. There's fee-free TAFE. All of these measures have received opposition from those opposite.
