On this side of the chamber, we've been getting on with the job. Yesterday we supported the Reserve Bank's decision to ban card surcharging. This puts an end to excessive and confusing fees at the check-out, particularly when families are under pressure and every dollar counts. These had been nuisance fees that had rightly been annoying consumers for too long. It's this government that has acted.

And while supporting Australians and standing up for consumers is in this government's DNA, the opposition, as always, continues to oppose or delay practical support. In uncertain times, Australians expect their government to be on their side, and that is exactly what we are doing.
