My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. The cost of living is the No. 1 issue I hear from constituents about and the No. 1 priority of the Albanese Labor government. I am worried to see those opposite spruiking policies that experts say will drive up prices, including nuclear reactors and supermarket divestiture, without any plan to actually provide effective relief now. Can the minister outline what the Albanese government's approach is to providing cost-of-living relief now, putting downward pressure on inflation and setting Australia up for the future?
