I'd first like to say happy birthday to Medicare—40 spectacular years making sure that your green card is more important than your wealth. I have personally had the benefit of this. I've personally, as I've spoken about in this chamber before, had issues where I've struggled to put food on the table and a roof over my head.

So I am delighted to see the legislation for the tax cuts from the Labor government today. In the face of significantly changed economic circumstances, we have found a better way. We have found a better way to deliver tax cuts in a way that is a better manager of the cost of living, having a genuine impact on people out there who are doing it tough.

It will help to return bracket creep. It'll be better for women, better for participation, better for the workforce and better for the economy. This is a great move by the Labor government.
