Thank you, Senator O'Neill. That is a very good question. We're focused on cost-of-living relief and building a better future for Australians. Those opposite, the Liberals and Nationals, are focused on fighting amongst themselves. Of course, it's the same old fight over and over again. In one corner, we have Senator Hume urging you all to 'embrace net zero', and, in the other corner, we have Mr Joyce with the support of Senators Canavan and Antic trying to hold the record for climate change denial. Meanwhile, Senator Cash and Mr Hastie are just waiting for this round to be over. If we turn to housing, it's groundhog day with Senator Bragg trying to block Labor from building more houses and then claiming not enough houses are being built. While those opposite fight amongst themselves and work to divide Australians, we're getting on with the job of delivering for Australians.
