I thank the member for Boothby for the question, because the approach to delivery could not be more stark. We have in this 48th Parliament, since the election and because we have an Albanese Labor government, cut 20 per cent of student debt. Because we have an Albanese Labor government, we have cheaper medicines. Because we have an Albanese Labor government, we are protecting penalty rates for Australian workers. Because we have an Albanese Labor government, we have five per cent deposits for first home buyers. To add to that today, because we have an Albanese Labor government, we have long awaited environmental reforms and, I might say, Australian content obligations for streamers.

This approach to delivery you see in the work of the parliament—for other members of parliament, the approach to delivery would be better represented at Christmas time by the movies that people watch at the end of the year, such as the great Christmas story A Christmas Carol. I suggest they all watch a version of it—probably the Muppets version of A Christmas Caroland, in doing so, don't focus on the tragedy of Tiny Tim—
