Funnily
enough, I speak to the Treasurer quite a lot. I do not know whether the member
recalls the other cost-of-living relief this government provided in last
year's budget—electricity relief and other utility relief—and
the fact that we have been able to keep utility prices down. The difference in
energy prices on this side of the country compared with those of our counterparts in the east is phenomenal. I speak to the
Treasurer all the time. The Treasurer is well aware of cost-of-living
issues. Just watch this space.
