QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:23): I thank the member for Lingiari for her question and for her advocacy on behalf of that fantastic part of Australia in the Northern Territory. It was a pleasure to be with the member for Lingiari and the member for Solomon as well in the Tiwi Islands just a short time ago. We are dealing with the challenges that we face here and now and doing it in a way that sets Australia up for the future.

This is how Labor governs—easing cost-of-living pressures, progressing real reform, delivering real change. That's what has driven our reforms to secure the National Disability Insurance Scheme for future generations. Making sure that the scheme is sustainable is absolutely essential for it to continue to have that life-changing impact for Australians who need it well into the future.

That's why as well we're delivering the strongest ever reforms to tackle gambling harm, making it easier to switch off gambling ads online, breaking the connection between wagering and sport, minimising children's exposure to gambling ads and strengthening rules around inducements. I thank the parliament for coming together to deliver these reforms. People have engaged constructively right across the chamber, and that is a good thing.

That is the way that the parliament should work. These important generational reforms are part of our broader agenda that is making a real difference. It is a fact that we still have today more fuel in Australia than we had on 28 February, when this crisis began with the war in the Middle East.

That has been achieved by the government working with the private sector through the EFA reforms, and is an example of, with the announcement that we've made about a potential new fuel refinery and other measures as well on sustainable fuels, how we also deal with those longer term sustainability issues. Last week we hit the milestone of 500,000 cheaper home batteries installed.

I was in the electorate of Mitchell last week—I was very pleased to be there—which is where, of course, most of these home batteries are going: in the outer suburbs and in the regions. In addition to the minimum standards and minimum wages for gig economy workers, we introduced our new legislation delivering wage justice for early childhood workers. And of course last week we found that the gender pay gap is at a new record low.

This is what delivering real change looks like: helping people under pressure here and now while taking action to set Australia up for the future.
