I'd like to take this opportunity to remind colleagues that, the next time the Senate sits, every taxpayer will be paying lower taxes because of the government's tax cuts. Also, 2.6 million low-paid workers will get a pay rise, and that's the third consecutive increase since we came to office. Every household will see $300 for energy bill relief, and there's $325 for each eligible small business. There will be a freeze on the price of PBS medicines, and those starting a family will have access to an additional two weeks of government paid parental leave. Under the Albanese government, all 13.6 million Australian taxpayers will get a tax cut, not just some, as was proposed by those opposite, and 11.5 million Australians will get a bigger tax cut than they would have under those opposite.

Families are set to be the biggest beneficiaries of our tax cuts, and recent analysis shows that households with children will receive an average tax cut of $3,000. This is what the Albanese government are delivering on and this is why we are in touch with families and are supporting them. This is the record of the Albanese government.
