My question is to Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Last July, the Prime Minister stood before Australians and said that inflation had 'turned the corner'. The reality for Australians is inflation is now rising again, prices are higher and families are facing the real risk of interest rates staying higher for longer. Will the Prime Minister apologise to Australians for stating that inflation had 'turned the corner', when the evidence now shows inflation is increasing again under his government's policies?
