I think the member for Makin, a 10-time national powerlifting champion who represented his country at three separate world championships. And he's represented his community in the north and north-eastern suburbs of Adelaide for almost five decades as a councillor and then a mayor and now a member in this place.

There are 78,000 taxpayers in the electorate of Makin. On 1 July, Labor will deliver every single one of them a tax cut to help with the cost of living. Many of them work in health, including at the terrific Modbury Hospital, which celebrated its 50th anniversary only recently. A third-year nurse working at Modbury will receive a tax cut on 1 July of $1,520, more than double what they would have received under the plans of those opposite.
