Senator, I can confirm to you that there are no plans for any bedroom inspectors in our government. Let me be very clear. I'm asked about tax measures, and I can confirm to you, Senator, that we will continue to make the tax system more efficient and fairer. We will implement our policy to give every single Australian a tax cut, and we will add to the tax cuts that we have already delivered. Let me remind you, Senator Henderson, if you're worried about tax, could you explain to us why you went to the election advocating for higher taxes for Australians? Most Australians would be very confused as to how the Liberal Party somehow turned from the party allegedly of low tax to the party of higher tax. We cut taxes for every Australian on 1 July 2024, and we will do it again from 1 July 2026 and 1 July 2027. That is Labor's tax policy.
