When we came to office, quarterly inflation was three times higher than it is now. It's now a third of what those opposite left behind. When it comes to productivity, we've had a couple of welcome quarters of productivity growth in the national accounts that the shadow Treasurer referenced. The point is: I was asked about living standards. If those opposite really cared about living standards in our country and in our communities, they would have voted for electricity bill reform.
