Thanks, Senator Dolega, for that question as well. The government, as we enter all of the intense work periods over the next few months in the lead-up to the budget, will of course be looking at how we can support Australians with cost-of-living pressures, how we manage the budget and how we find savings not only to return to budget to lower the debt and deficit that we inherited from those opposite but also to make sure that we have room for important priorities, whether they be in defence, health, dealing with the pressures in the NDIS, which Minister McAllister is leading on, or aged care. All of these are areas where we are seeing continued demand. We're managing that and providing cost-of-living assistance with the tax cuts that will come in. We have a load of measures that we've already introduced, including increasing PPL and issues like that, that we will continue to roll out to support households across Australia.
