QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:06): I thank the fantastic member for Bass for her question. She came into this place as a former schoolteacher and understands that the kids she used to teach in those classrooms need to be able to aspire to their own home. Our budget helps Australians with the cost of living.

Our budget backs aspirations— Mr Chester interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister is going to pause. Member for Gippsland, you are not going to interject anymore. You've been yelling non-stop through yesterday's question time and today.

You're on a warning. One more word and you're not going to be here for the remainder of question time. The member for Bass has asked her question; the Prime Minister is entitled to answer it.

Mr ALBANESE: Importantly, as well, it builds Australia's resilience. At a time of global instability and turbulence, we have managed today to have more fuel in Australia than we had on 28 February, and the package in this budget on fuel security will further help that. Those opposite said, 'Why are they bothering to talk in South-East Asia?' They took the same principle that they did in government, where they ignored our neighbourhood, where we live.

They've taken that principle into their ever-diminishing opposition. Now, we've also— The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business on a point of order. Mr Tehan: On relevance, the question was very clear— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat.

Mr Tehan interjecting— The SPEAKER: Resume your seat. Under the standing orders, you're entitled to raise a point of relevance, which you did. You don't need to explain what that is.

I've got plenty of examples we can go through of former Speakers who have handled this exactly the same way, and I'm happy to list them to the member if he requires it. Mr ALBANESE: We have cut taxes for 13 million Australians five times. The first one was the one that they said they'd reverse.

Then, of course, our second tax cut, our top-up, begins on 1 July. The further top-up begins on 1 July next year. Then there is the thousand-dollar automatic tax deduction.

Then, of course, there is our Working Australians Tax Offset. If you add all that up for average workers, they will be better off by around $2,800. We've not only done that; we've put in place measures such as cheaper medicines and we've made permanent the urgent care clinics as part of Medicare—something opposed by those opposite, but now they all want one on their corner.

We have made free TAFE permanent. We are making a difference, with cheaper batteries benefiting hundreds of thousands of Australians as well. But, importantly as well, we are giving Australians a fair crack at buying their first home, backing aspiration.

The coalition have already told us what they are against. In interview after interview, asked about helping young Australians into their own home, they've said they're against it. They'll repeal it now—they'll repeal it.

It's a repeat of what happened one year ago, and we know how that ended. These geniuses are going to go to an election saying that they will repeal young Australians getting a fair go. The SPEAKER: The member for Forrest will leave the chamber under 94(a) for that continual interjection and yelling during the Prime Minister's answer, and plenty of people will follow him today if that continues.

The member for Forrest then left the chamber.
