Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:02): This is what the RBA governor said yesterday when she was asked very directly about government spending. She said, 'What's happened in the last six months or so is private demand has turned out to be much stronger than we have been forecasting.' That's what the RBA governor had to say very clearly. We know that Australians are still doing it tough, and we know that cost-of-living pressures are real, but that's why we have measures to actually address cost-of-living pressures to take pressure off family budgets in every way that we can. And we'll keep focusing on easing cost-of-living pressures; on making medicines cheaper, which we did on 1 January; investing in more bulk-billing and urgent care clinics, which we are doing; cutting student debt by 20 per cent—opposed by those opposite—paid prac; $10,000 incentives for people to do apprenticeships in construction or in energy; and, of course, free TAFE, which has now had more than 700,000 people participate in it. It's why we support real wage rises. That's why we supported a tax cut last year and why, on 1 July, there will be another tax cut, and, next year, there'll be another one after that. I note before— Mr Tim Wilson interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Goldstein, don't make it two from two. Mr ALBANESE: I note we had a debate about a cost-of-living measure before question time today. Those opposite can't even agree on cheaper beer, remarkably. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business will make his point of order, as he's entitled to do so. Mr Hawke: It's on relevance. The question wasn't about the debate earlier today. It was about interest rates. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister was asked about higher prices and increasing interest rates. He was talking about the price of an individual commodity, but I'll invite him to return to the question. Mr ALBANESE: I was, Mr Speaker. I was asked about cost of living and the pressure that people are under, and I'm talking about the measures which we're taking. One of them we're trying to legislate through the parliament. It passed the House of Representatives earlier today, but the Liberals split from the Nationals. More than that, five of the Liberals went and voted with the Nationals against the government's position. Mr Chester: Way to go, Bubble Boy! Mr ALBANESE: I take the interjection from one of the Nats talking about the bubble. They can't stop talking about themselves, each and every day. Sky News don't have 30 seconds when there's not one of them sitting in their studio. The SPEAKER: There are far too many interjections from the member for Gippsland. That yelling will not continue. Mr Chester: I gave him his best material! The SPEAKER: No! The member for Gippsland is now warned. I'm not having a repeat of yesterday with a continual barrage of noise. It's not acceptable and it's not respectful to the chamber. The Manager of Opposition Business, on a point of order. Mr Hawke: The Prime Minister is defying you. You directed him to direct his remarks to the question. He is not doing that. He's defying your ruling. The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. If the member for Gippsland and other members would stop interjecting so loudly, perhaps the Prime Minister wouldn't be provoked. We can easily deal with this. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! If you want him to answer a question, don't interject, because he's taking interjections. It's pretty simple. Mr Chester interjecting— The SPEAKER: The House is going to come to order. The member for Gippsland has been warned. It's completely unacceptable. Mr ALBANESE: I know the Manager of Opposition Business would be somewhat sensitive given he's now down to 23 members who will follow a decision of the shadow cabinet—23 out of 150.
