QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WALSH (Victoria) (14:45): My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Tackling the inflation challenge while supporting Australians with cost-of-living pressures, including by tax cuts for all taxpayers, energy bill relief and cheaper medicines, has been a core focus of the Albanese Labor government since taking office 2½ years ago.

The government's approach is in stark contrast to that of the Liberals and Nationals, who have opposed cost-of-living measures at every opportunity. Can the minister please update the Senate on the government's work to fight inflation and how this is strengthening Australia's economy?
