So what I've heard coming from some of those opposite is a bit rich. We just heard Senator Scarr say, 'Change the law.' He was here for a few years. Did he change the law? No, he didn't. But he and his colleagues just want to sit back now and take cheap shots at a government that is following exactly the same process that they did when they were in office, and they do everything possible to avoid talking about cost-of-living changes, including those that come into force today, 1 July. They will do anything to avoid talking about tax cuts and cost-of-living relief, even asking questions about things they did nothing about in office. (Time expired)
