My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. In yet another hit to Australians' hip pockets, working household living costs have increased by a shocking 19.4 per cent under the Albanese Labor government. The damage done so far by the Albanese government to hardworking families and households is: food costs up by 14 per cent, housing costs up by 14 per cent, healthcare costs up by 12 per cent, education costs up by 11 per cent and insurance and financial services costs up by 96 per cent, in less than three years of an Albanese Labor government. Why are Australians, despite all your rhetoric, paying the price for Labor's economic incompetence?
