My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Prior to the election Prime Minister Albanese said, 'I'll say this very clearly: families will be better off under a Labor government.' This is the reality for Australian families under the Albanese Labor government: food is up 13.3 per cent; housing is up 14.5 per cent; rents are up 18 per cent; electricity without government rebates is up 32.3 per cent; and gas is up 34.2 per cent. That is the reality that Australian families are living. Does the Prime Minister seriously believe that his cruel hoax of a 70-cents-a-day tax cut in 15 months time will do anything to help Australian families with the skyrocketing cost-of-living crisis that the Albanese government alone has created?
