The Labor Government is prioritising cost of living relief for everyday Australians.

I know that many people in our community are doing it tough right now. Whether it’s rent, groceries, power bills, or petrol, the cost of living has been rising, and families, workers, and pensioners are feeling the pressure.

That’s why the number one priority of the Albanese government is helping Australians with the cost of living by bringing prices under control, raising wages and putting more money back in your pocket.
