My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the Prime Minister’s direct declaration of a ‘war on inflation’ on 21 January, which he described as the biggest economic challenge facing the Australian government. Why is there no mention of inflation, which has now risen to five per cent, or the government’s five-point plan to fight the war on inflation in the government’s one-year progress report released on Friday?
