Thank you. It had a six in front of it when we came to government; it's now got a three in front of it, but he's trying to make a political point. At the same time, this bloke, and all of them, come in here and vote against cost-of-living relief. Then they try to pretend to the Australian people they care about cost of living. We all know, actually, that all you care about is a political attack. That is all you care about. On this side we care about making sure we deliver cost-of-living relief to Australians, because we understand how hard they are doing it. That is the difference between you and us. We are trying to ensure higher wages, cheaper medicines and cheaper child care and give people some relief on energy—all the things you oppose. (Time expired)
