Thanks to the honourable member for his question. I think in my last answer I made our views on inflation and cost-of-living help pretty clear. Inflation is moderating in our economy, not as fast or as far as we would like but it's moderating from the high-quarterly peak that we inherited. The Reserve Bank governor, as is appropriate, has made some comments about that in recent weeks, as have I. Our focus as a government is on rolling out those 10 different types of cost-of-living relief that I went through in some detail a moment ago.
