Today we are delivering real change to assist Australians. Today wages go up; taxes go down. Today, Paid Parental Leave is expanded to six months. Today superannuation will be paid on Paid Parental Leave. Workers super, as a result of changes we have made, get paid from today on payday, making a difference. All urgent care clinics are made permanent today, meaning that, when it comes to the costs of health care, people can get the care they need when they need it with just their Medicare card, not their credit card—all 137 clinics open. There are more cheaper medicines from today—an additional 10 medicines added to the PBS.

That is what delivering real change looks like. That is what makes a difference to people who are under financial pressure. And unlike the three right-wing parties, the axis of grievance, we are not just identifying issues but making a difference.
