'And we were surprised, in the latter half of 2025, that private demand is on the upside.' Then there are the killer three words: 'They are facts.' And indeed they are facts from the RBA governor. They are facts.

We will keep focused on easing cost-of-living pressures with the measures that we have put in place: making medicines cheaper, investing in more bulk-billing, investing in urgent care clinics, cutting student debt, paid prac, $10,000 cash incentives for construction workers, income tax cuts—that always gets them upset. They opposed and were going to roll back our income tax cuts. When the income tax cut comes in, on 1 July, they'll be very depressed about that. And then, when it happens next year, they'll be even more depressed about that.

What drives us each and every day is making a positive difference to people's lives. We'll continue to do it, and no amount of verballing of the RBA governor will change that.
