My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Working households in Australia have seen their living costs increase by 19.4 per cent under your Labor government. The cost of food has increased by 14.3 per cent. The cost of housing has increased by 14.2 per cent. The costs of insurance and financial services have increased by nearly 96 per cent. When will Mr Albanese admit that he's done a terrible job of keeping costs under control for Australian families, and why does he continue to insult every electorate by attempting to convince Australians that they have never been better off?
