What has the Albanese Labor government been doing over the past six months? I'm glad you asked. We've legislated payday super. We've set a climate target of 62-70 per cent emissions reduction by 2035. Over 111 large-scale renewable projects have been approved, and a further 29 projects are in the pipeline. We expanded the five per cent home guarantee scheme to make it easier to buy your own home. We cut HECS debts by 20 per cent. We legislated to protect penalty rates and overtime rates. We've introduced the home battery subsidy scheme, and now over 110,000 additional Australian homes have a battery. We announced the solar sharer scheme so all Australians can benefit from renewable energy. We delivered dignity into our aged care system and made the system sustainable. We put $8.5 billion into bulk-billing, and from 1 January you'll only pay $25 for a prescription on the PBS. And today we're debating the EPBC Act to fix our broken environmental laws. Meanwhile, those opposite squabble amongst themselves. They split, get back together again, threaten to split again and discuss the PM's T-shirt choices. I know some of my colleagues here are Swifties, but I'm an eighties girl. On this side of the House, our theme song is Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now'. On that side, it's The Clash's 'Should I stay or Should I Go'.
