It's so kind of Minister Wong to wish to turn it into opposition question time and talk about opposition policies. But the Treasurer stated on Monday:

Despite the good progress we're making in the national numbers, we know that that doesn't always automatically translate to how people are faring or feeling in the economy.

Given that independent analysis shows real household incomes are unlikely to recover to even half of what they were before this crisis, can Australians ever expect to experience the good progress in their household incomes and personal finances that the Treasurer is boasting of?
