If we had a dollar for every time those opposite said no to cost-of-living relief, we wouldn't need to worry about the cost of living. We'd be rich.

They're like the grumpy, strict grandparents who say no to everything.

Can we change the TV channel? No.

Can we go to the park? No.

Can we make life easier for Australians by introducing cost-of-living relief? No.

I certainly wouldn't want to be their grandchild. They're no fun at all. There are so many ways to describe the 'no-alition'. They're like a traffic light stuck on red. No matter how much you need cost-of-living relief to help you move forward, they're stuck in the way, saying no.

The opposition are like a vending machine that takes your money but never delivers your snacks. They will say anything to get your vote, but when you put your faith in them they will leave you hungry for cost-of-living relief.

In fact, those opposite remind me a little bit of Squidward from my kids' favourite burger themed TV show, SpongeBob SquarePants. They're always cynical and salty. They're always saying no. They complain about a problem that those opposite don't have a solution for.

Luckily, we are a government that doesn't say no, and we're delivering cost-of-living relief for all Australians. That's what the Albanese Labor government does.

We deliver for Australians, unlike you guys opposite.

They just do what? What do they do, everyone? Say no!
