My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Today we've seen further evidence that the Albanese Labor government's economic plan is working, with almost one million jobs created under Labor. This is in addition to record-high workforce participation and the gender pay gap being down to a record low. Inflation in Australia is moderating—in fact, it's halved from its peak in 2022—and our rates are still lower than in the US, even after today's rate cut. How has Labor's economic plan enabled the government to provide cost-of-living relief whilst putting downward pressure on inflation?
