This is a federal Labor government that delivers. Not only do we deliver; we overdeliver. We promised 50 urgent care clinics. We delivered 87. In my electorate, every taxpayer got a tax cut. We're also taking another $150 off people's electricity bills this month. It's so exciting. Interest rates are down, student debt has been slashed by 20 per cent, and first home buyers can now access a five per cent deposit. And last week, in my electorate of Swan, we got to unveil the new Maniana Park in Queens Park, and, gosh, it is super fun. It is vibrant. Young, ambitious families are so excited to stay connected, and kids get to explore and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Meanwhile, what have we been seeing on the opposite side of the House? We know that Dutton left devastating, nuclear-level destruction in the coalition. Just when we thought that they were in the wilderness, who walks away? Their partner, the Nationals. And then we saw Senator Price's demotion from the frontbench, which was damage control, and frontbenchers still won't apologise to the Indian community despite our immense contribution. The member for Canning quit, the member for New England sabotages net zero, and they can't even agree whether climate change is real. Well, it is real. What a circus! Australians deserve better.
