Cost of living

 Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (17:58): (2444) My adjournment matter is for the Treasurer, Jaclyn Symes. Labor is delivering cost-of-living relief in Victoria: free public transport for kids, the $100 power saving bonus and capped fuel prices through that 24-hour cycle under the Servo Saver app. I cannot resist going on with the list: free TAFE, breakfast clubs, food relief, free public transport in the face of the war and the uncertainty that we all face in relation to that and the Get Active Kids vouchers. The Smile Squad has been extended, and there are three hours free power in the middle of the day between 12 and 3. And that is not an exhaustive list. My request is for an update on how Labor’s cost-of-living measures are helping families in Western Victoria right now.
