My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Families in regional Australia are being hit hardest by Labor's cost-of-living crisis, paying more for fuel, groceries, insurance, energy and transport while having fewer services and lower incomes to absorb the blow. Why has the Prime Minister persisted with cost-of-living and energy policies that compound price pressures for regional and rural Australians, who have the least capacity to absorb them?
