I thank Senator Polley for that supplementary. This budget is about aspiration and fairness, helping with cost of living, boosting resilience in uncertain times and showing savings and reform can all work together. Against global uncertainty, the budget invests in Australia's resilience and economic sovereignty; delivers more cost-of-living help and new tax cuts for workers; backs small business aspiration and innovation; levels the playing field for first home buyers; and helps put homeownership back within the reach of younger Australians. It includes $64 billion in savings and reprioritisations, taking total savings since coming to government to $178 billion, and it sets out more responsible budget repair and more economic reform than any other budget this century.
