Obviously, we are very focused on working to deliver cost-of-living relief because we understand Australians are doing it hard. The Liberal Party is focused on adopting Senator Nick McKim's supermarket economic policy. But, of course, there are sensible people over there who understand what this really means. Earlier this year, Senator Dean Smith said that divestiture powers are 'ill conceived'. Senator Hume said that there was 'concern' about 'whether they will actually decrease prices'. I agree with you, Senator. Senator Kovacic said, 'They could end up harming the people we are attempting to protect.' Former Liberal Premier Jeff Kennett said, 'This is madness'. This is what happens when a party forget who they are and adopt the Greens' economic policy. Congratulations, Senator McKim. Welcome to the shadow cabinet.
