Two points. First, this is a Labor agenda, and Labor has delivered five tax cuts for working people in the period we've been in government. We will continue to do what we can to address cost-of-living pressures that Australians are experiencing, whether it is making sure that we support minimum wage rises and higher wages, particularly in the care industries, or making sure we continue to support public education and the delivery of bulk-billed services through urgent care clinics and elsewhere.

Second, I would make the point, Senator, that your party has voted with the coalition on numerous occasions against cost-of-living measures. You have voted against industrial relations changes which are about protecting working people. Your leader said, very clearly:

I'm not anti the coalition … I hope that we can work together…
