My question is to the Prime Minister. Under this Prime Minister, carers didn't get the government's one-off $75 energy assistance payment and they're facing the abolition of their energy supplement—a cut of $365 a year. With the Prime Minister already ripping hundreds of dollars away from carers, is he really so out of touch that he expects carers to thank him because they might get a lousy 50c saving on their power bills in three years time?
