Labor's change with the Excise Tariff Amendment (Draught Beer) Bill 2025 and the associated bill, and the carry-on that they are putting to this debate, is little more than a political stunt. It doesn't address the cost-of-living crisis that Labor has forced upon everyday ordinary Australians. Those everyday ordinary Australians love a beer. They love a punt. Tomorrow is Melbourne Cup Day. I know there are some people in this place from the Greens political party who say 'nup' to the Cup. I say: 'Have a drink. Go, Buckaroo!'
