As families send their children back to school this week, I am reminded of my own experience as a mum on the farm, working hard to pay the bills and put food on the table. I know those pressures. I have lived them.
Today, families across Australia are being squeezed like never before. Under Labor, food is up 16 per cent, rent up 22 per cent, and electricity up nearly 40 per cent. That is a cost of living crisis, plain and simple.
I remain determined to build an Australia where families can get ahead, where people are empowered to stand on their own two feet, and where hard work is respected and rewarded.
