Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:35): What we've learned and what we've seen on national display over the past month has been a Prime Minister who delivers on his promises to the Australian people and the commitments that he made in the lead-up to the election, the commitments he delivers on in government. In relation to the cost of living, I do find it interesting when the opposition asks us questions about what we have done on cost of living when, without exception I think, they have opposed every single measure that we have sought. So this, again, signifies the approach the opposition takes on everything: no solutions, no plans, no ideas, just blockers. They want to block and criticise, but they have no plans of their own. Energy bill relief, remember that? They voted no to that. Cheaper child care, increased rent assistance, Medicare bulk-billing, cheaper medicines, boost in income support payments, fee-free TAFE, building more affordable homes—the Housing Australia Future Fund— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Before I go to Senator Duniam, I am going to remind all senators across the chamber that those interjections are disorderly. Senator Duniam? Senator Duniam: A point of order on direct relevance, President. I asked how much worse off Australians are, not the voting record in this place. The PRESIDENT: There were a few significant sentences before that about the Prime Minister. You talked about plans and other things. The minister is being relevant, but I will continue to listen closely. Senator GALLAGHER: I mean, my argument that I'm putting, President, is that Australians are being supported by this government with the investments we're making to deal with cost-of-living pressures without adding to inflation, which those opposite blocked. Whilst we have within doing all that, and I think since the last time we met, remember we have actually delivered the first budget surplus in 15 years. Remember that? So we're fixing the mess, making the investments, despite your opposition to it. Your opposition does make it harder because we have to make sure we get the numbers to pass the legislation to allow that support to flow. But that's exactly what we're doing. It's what the Prime Minister does every single day. Yes, he worked to support a referendum and he worked hard to support that. He said he would and he did that. At the same time in every single day he was doing that, he was working on addressing cost-of-living pressures for all Australians and you can see that— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Duniam, a first supplementary question?
