Thank you, Senator Mulholland, for that question. We are delivering more real, practical and ongoing help with the cost of living to all Australians, and much of that has been opposed by the coalition, including our pay rise for minimum- and award-wage workers, increasing the superannuation guarantee to 12 per cent, looking at paid parental leave, our boost to Medicare with our expanded bulk-billing, our cutting of student debt—and many students and former students will be getting those text messages that are rolling out now—and our opening of another 50 Medicare urgent care clinics.

This has all been part of how we're not only focusing on wages and women's economic equality but also ensuring that other things like services and structural changes, including for paying super on PPL, are being made to continue to show that we are trying to make things easier for people and reduce women's economic inequality at the same time.
