MATTERS OF URGENCY
Senator BELL (New South Wales—One Nation Whip) (17:06): Australians are living with the Albanese Labor government's cost-of-living crisis every day. They see it in their mortgage or rent, at the supermarket checkout and in their power bills, insurance and fuel costs every single day. Australians are working harder, paying more tax and watching more of their money disappear just to cover the basics.
Labor and the coalition keep talking about these problems while pursuing policies that make them worse, frankly. One Nation has a plan to tackle the causes. Our super pay boost would give Australians paying rent or a mortgage the choice to receive 3 per cent of their future compulsory super contributions in their pocket for up to three years.
It's their money. They should have that choice. One Nation also has a plan to tackle the issue of mass migration, because you cannot keep bringing in more people than Australia can house and then wonder why rents rise, why Australians cannot buy a home and infrastructure cannot cope.
That is why One Nation will substantially reduce Australia's temporary migrant population over three years, taking pressure off housing and essential services and restoring clear limits to the temporary migration system. This will restore Australians living standards, ease pressure on housing and essential services and bring population growth back to a sustainable rate.
Sickly GDP growth driven by mass migration means nothing if Australians are poorer per person and cannot afford a home, find a hospital bed or get ahead. Australians want action, not excuses. One Nation has the policies, the determination and the courage to deliver the change you can trust.
I'll just say it again. Every day Australians are suffering through the Albanese Labor government's cost-of-living crisis, and the longer that this Labor government refuses to acknowledge it and refuses to accept that, the longer you will continue to suffer at home—the more your mortgages will go up, the more your rents will go up, the more your groceries will go up, the more your power bills will go up and the more your insurance and fuel costs will go up.
One Nation has a plan to change things for the better. (Time expired)
