My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Farrell. The two budgets of the Albanese Labor government have committed an additional $188 billion in spending, with economists describing your last budget as 'unambiguously expansionary' and 'likely to add to inflation'. Doesn't all the evidence show that Labor's fiscal policy is keeping inflation higher for longer and fuelling the cost-of-living crisis?
