It's good to welcome the member for Page back to the dispatch box! I welcome this matter of public importance today. On this side of the House, we understand the pressures that people and families are facing, which is why we are delivering cost-of-living relief for all Australians, from more bulk-billing to cheaper medicine, to student debt relief, to supporting people to buy their first home. It's measures delivered by this Labor government that are helping people. What is not helping people is the division and chaos from those on the other side.

Last week the member for Page was on the backbench with his Nationals colleagues. Now he's back at the dispatch box—oh, now he's walking out on the MPI, like the Nationals did to Sussan Ley!
