My question is for the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Last week Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock stated, 'The extent to which government makes up the shortfalls for households by giving them more money makes it harder to dampen demand.' Now Labor's leaked cheat sheet for broken promises says the government wants to use every lever it can. Minister, why is government using every lever to make the Reserve Bank governor's job harder with reckless spending and increased taxes?
