And, whatever you do, don't ask a question about Leppington Triangle of this bloke.

I was asked what we are doing, and I am telling you what we're doing. What we're doing is reducing the cost of pharmaceuticals. Next week we'll have other legislation to reduce the cost of child care. Ninety-six per cent of families will benefit from that. What we're about is assisting people who are doing it tough. When it comes to the cost of living, I notice that the Leader of the Opposition was asked this morning about whether he supported an extension of the halving of the petrol excise beyond September. You know what his answer was? He said, 'I'll tell you before the next election.' That's what he said. It ends in September, but he'll tell you before the next election! The fact is that those opposite have contempt for people who are doing it tough. We are engaged in cost-of-living relief, and that is what you will see in our budget.
