Thank you, Senator Rice. What I say to those people is that they can have confidence that a Labor government, under Anthony Albanese as Prime Minister, will stand with them in providing them with the payments they require and in assisting them to find work. People can always have confidence in a Labor government to do that; that is something that is core to our beliefs.

I notice senators over that side are laughing at that proposition. That's really something you'd need to ask yourself, Senator Van.
