My question is to the minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. In the lead-up to the last election the then opposition leader, Mr Albanese, stated: 'Instead of doing photo ops, the Prime Minister should focus on reducing the cost of living' and: 'Australians are being hit with a triple whammy of skyrocketing essentials. They deserve a government with a plan to ease the cost of living.' Minister, how much worse off have Australians become as a result of Mr Albanese overseeing skyrocketing prices of essential goods with no government plans to ease cost-of-living pressures, but plenty of T-shirt-wearing photo ops?
