A letter has been received from Senator Dean Smith:

Pursuant to standing order 75, I propose that the following matter of public importance be submitted to the Senate for discussion:

The number one current pressure on Australians' wellness is the cost of living, but the Albanese Labor government is spending its time writing out-of-date and misleading reports rather than making the hard decisions to get inflation lower faster, which is what really matters to millions of Australians.

Is the proposal supported?

More than the number of senators required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

Senator Smith.
