Mr ALBANESE ( Grayndler — Prime Minister ) ( 14:19 ): Some parts of the premise of that question, once again consistent with the shadow Treasurer, are simply wrong. The fact is that we inherited an inflation rate with a six in front of it. The measures— Mr Sukkar interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Deakin has now been interjecting 10 times, so I will give him one last chance. I'm trying to fix behaviour here, so the member for Deakin won't be interjecting anymore during this answer or any other answers, or he'll be warned. Mr ALBANESE: The fact is that inflation is lower than what we inherited. The fact is that the measures that we have put in place that have put downward pressure on inflation, such as energy price relief, have had a substantial impact on helping to drive down that inflation. Michele Bullock, the RBA governor, was asked: how is Australia's experience in regard to core inflation since the beginning of this year different or the same to that which has been observed in the US, Canada or the European area? This is what the RBA governor had to say: 'It's a very similar experience.' She went on to say: 'If you look at core inflation and services inflation, in particular, overseas, the experience there is very similar to here.' She went on to say this— Mr Taylor: It's higher here, Albo! The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Hume has asked his question. Mr Taylor: Yes, but he's not answering the question. The SPEAKER: Do not interject for the remainder of this answer; otherwise, you'll be warned and you won't be here to hear any more questions. I'm just going to take the temperature down, and everyone is going to listen to the Prime Minister. Mr ALBANESE: She went on to say something that would be unfamiliar to those opposite, which was, 'Fiscal policy has been running a surplus for the past couple of years.' That's something completely foreign to those opposite. She didn't say that the government had produced mugs. She said: 'Fiscal policy has been running a surplus for the past couple of years, so I would say that's been helping the inflation situation.' That is what she very clearly said—unlike the approach of those opposite.
