Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:24): I thank the shadow Treasurer for his very tight question there. I'll try to go through some of the items. Our economy, of course, is growing, unlike most of the advanced economies in the world. We haven't had a single quarter of negative growth; we've continued to have positive growth. Inflation is down to 2.4 per cent, down from the six per cent that we inherited. Wages are up. Inflation down, wages up. As a result, indeed, pay packets are growing at the fastest pace since 2012. It's very important. Of course, at the same time, we have delivered tax cuts for every single taxpayer—opposed by those opposite—because we want people to earn more and we want people to keep more of what they earn. Those opposite want people to work longer for less. Unemployment is, of course, low. We have had the fastest employment growth, faster than any of the G7 nations, and we're really proud of that. On our watch, 1.1 million jobs were created, more than any government since Federation. You would think, at a time where we have had global economic difficulties and global inflation having had an impact around the world, that when you piece all that together—the economy growing, inflation down, unemployment low and wages up—there would be some support from those opposite. Mr Taylor: Why is everyone worse off? The SPEAKER: The shadow Treasurer has asked his question. Mr ALBANESE: But, in fact, it has happened in spite of their opposition. Whether it was energy bill relief, cheaper child care, cheaper medicines, extra bulk-billed GP appointments, free TAFE, the largest rent assistance increase in 30 years or student debt relief for three million families, they've opposed every single one of those cost-of-living measures. Indeed, if they had their way, Australians would be $7,200 worse off, on average. Australians know the great risk of this mob—it is the $350 billion in cuts that they've said they will make, but they won't tell you what they will be, and that's before they make room for their $600 billion nuclear fantasy. I thank the shadow Treasurer very much for his question.
