give support to people in ways which don't put pressure on inflation but which deal with short-term issues and providing short-term relief while building longer-term support? That's why we do things that are serious, such as free TAFE, which lowers the costs of people undertaking TAFE but builds our skill base. That's why we tripled the bulk-billing incentive, so that more people can see a doctor for free whilst building Medicare for the future. That's why we're building agreements, such as the EU free trade agreement, which are not only important for our jobs and our economy but also about building a national security, because what that does, that diversification of trade, is it builds the diversification of those relationships and makes us less reliant at the end of supply chains.

This is a government that is serious about meeting the challenges which modern Australia is facing and doing it in a way that protects, as best as possible, the people that we are elected to serve. We take these issues very seriously, just as we take seriously issues of protecting children through the digital duty of care. This is a government that is focused on the needs of Australians. Those opposite are just focused on themselves.
