QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator ANANDA-RAJAH (Victoria) (14:50): My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Yesterday, the Albanese Labor government's next round of income tax cuts came into effect alongside a pay rise for millions of workers, cheaper fuel at the bowser and paid parental leave reaching a full six months for the first time. This support is arriving while global pressures continue to push up the cost of living.

What support came into effect yesterday and how will it make a difference for Australian workers and their families?
