Those opposite have no economic credibility. We know that. They want all the bad economic news they can get their hands on because they want to shift the blame. They don't care, and they don't focus on cost of living and the things that matter to the Australian people. They want to come in here, have a fight and play that divisive role that their leader champions, whilst we are working every single day on how we can help households with the cost-of-living pressures that they're experiencing, how we can get the budget in better shape so it can deal with the pressures that are coming its way and how we can make sure that we're not adding to the inflation challenge but are putting downward pressure on it. All of those steps are working. And, at the same time, we hear nothing from those opposite but 'no, no, no'—negative, divisive responses.
