This is not my first speech. My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. In its first term, the Albanese Labor government worked hard to support Australians with the cost of living by getting inflation down, real wages up and the lowest average unemployment in 50 years. On 3 May, Australians voted for a government determined to continue delivering policies that mattered to them and made their lives better. On 1 July, a long list of practical policies designed to support Australians took effect. How will these changes help support Australians with the cost of living?
