Not only is the Prime Minister aware but he has been absolutely focused, since he was elected, on doing all that he can, as we all have, to address the cost-of-living pressures that Australians feel. Senator, can I remind you about how many of those cost-of-living measures you opposed? I mean, you come in here now and talk about cost-of-living pressures—you have no credibility, Senator.

You have no credibility on this, Senator, nor does your party or your parties, because you consistently, individually and collectively, opposed cost-of-living measures that we sought to bring in in order to address the pressures that Australians face. You opposed them. I think we all understand that inflation is a challenge, and we are working to do what is required to get inflation down. (Time expired)

President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
