My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. I refer to the state of the economy a year ago, when the Albanese government inherited a poor economic legacy from the Liberals and Nationals, with reference to economic data which showed that wages were stagnant, there was $1 trillion of debt with nothing to show for it, and there was the highest quarterly inflation this century, as well as challenging economic conditions globally. Can the minister please update the Senate on Australia's economic outlook since the Albanese Labor government began growing the economy, supporting businesses and boosting jobs and wages?
