My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Last week's national accounts confirmed what we know: that consumption is low and households are under pressure. It also confirmed that the Albanese Labor government's economic plan to fight inflation whilst providing cost-of-living relief is the right one for the times and is one which supports growth in the economy. Can the minister outline how our responsible and balanced approach is helping Australians doing it tough? What additional cost-of-living relief is rolling out in September to further assist households?
