That was a great answer from the minister. I really appreciate the detail. The wage price index was released today showing that wages are rising 0.8 per cent to 4.1 per cent higher through the year. The government has also put downward pressure on inflation after inheriting an inflation rate of 6.1 per cent from the coalition. Can the minister please explain how the government is working in complement with the RBA on the inflation challenge while supporting cost-of-living measures?
