My question is to the Prime Minister. Under the Prime Minister's cost-of-living crisis, the cost of gas and household fuels is up 14.3 per cent. Tertiary education costs are up 9.7 per cent. Domestic travel costs are up 4.7 per cent. Lifeline says 80 per cent of calls relate to the cost of living. Forty-five per cent of Australians say they are delaying getting their car serviced. The National Youth Mental Health Survey reports cost of living as the biggest concern for young Australians. Why do Australian families always pay more under Labor?
