Minister, you say a substantial increase isn't possible. Why, though, are you choosing to give over $300 billion in stage 3 tax cuts to the richest people in our society, choosing to spend $368 billion on the AUKUS submarines, and choosing a $20 billion surplus rather than ensuring that people on income support can have more than one meal a day, aren't trapped into a whirlpool of declining health and can afford to live in a house rather than a tent or a car?
