The Prime Minister absolutely takes responsibility for leading the government through a time of rising cost of living and takes responsibility for delivering responsible assistance and responsible relief to Australian families, Australian pensioners and more. That is what the Prime Minister is very clear about. He has made it clear that it is his and the government's No. 1 priority to deal with cost of living. We understand how hard it is for so many Australians but, unlike the opposition, we are getting on with the job of providing cost-of-living relief. We are getting on with the job of ensuring that tax cuts are rolled out as well as wage increases for childhood educators, the Medicare boost plus cheaper medicines and, of course, energy bill relief. How many of those policies do you oppose? How many of those policies would you roll back? Why don't you tell Australians that? You won't come in here and actually be honest about what you want to do.
