Anika Wells (Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Minister for Aged Care) Share this | Hansard source

I was saying that I have three kids who are in child care and that, come 1 July, our decision to reduce the cost of child care for people makes a huge difference to the cost of living. We have made decisions to put downward pressure on the price of child care and downward pressure on the price of electricity bills, rather than the cash-splash bonanza that you lot tried to do when you had the levers of power.

We are making decisions to give subsidies to people on things like energy bills and childcare bills because that puts downward pressure on inflation.
