It's why we are working to help deal with the issues in our supply chains, which the Prime Minister mentioned in response to the question from the member for Kennedy.

All along we have been upfront about the nature of this inflation challenge. We have been realistic about the decisions taken by the independent Reserve Bank and we will continue to work around the clock to make this economy more resilient so that Australians, especially right now with a mortgage and doing it especially tough, know that the government is doing what it can to deal with those parts of the inflationary pressures where we can have a meaningful influence.
