From today, every Australian taxpayer will get a tax cut, thanks to the Albanese Labor government, and every household will get $300 in energy bill relief. In my electorate of Corangamite alone, 70,000 taxpayers—every single taxpayer—will get a tax cut. For a nurse in Drysdale on $75,000, this means a tax cut of $1,554; for a hospitality worker in Torquay on $30,000 a year, this means a tax cut of $354; and, for an apprentice tradie on $55,000 a year, this means a tax cut of $1,054. That's not all; 2.6 million workers on award and minimum wages will get a pay rise from today and their six months paid parental leave. We're also holding supermarkets to account, with hefty penalties and price monitoring so you get the best deal and so do our farmers. We're working hard to increase housing supply, helping renters and first home buyers. We have an ambitious national target to build 1.2 million homes by the end of the decade to improve the lives of our most vulnerable and provide more cost-of-living relief for you because we want you to earn more and keep more of what you earn.
