Australia's health system to help deliver patients the best care and also to take pressure off our hospitals, backing minimum wage and award wage increases to boost the pay of 3,000,000 Australians, expand paid parental leave to a full six months, helping new parents spend more time at home with their newest family member, introducing payday super so workers start earning returns sooner and reducing the chances super will go unpaid, permanently extending the $20,000 instant asset write off for small businesses, banning supermarket price gouging with a new mandatory food and grocery code that prohibits very large retailers from charging prices that are significantly excessive, injecting an additional $25,000,000,000 into public hospitals to help states deliver care, expanding services at our endometriosis and pelvic pain clinics to include perimenopause and menopause, improving patient outcomes by requiring pathology and diagnostic imaging providers to upload test results to My Health Record, opening a new National Environmental Protection Agency, the first in Australia's history. Why are we doing all these steps? Because we've been listening to Australians. We wanna help them to deal with the cost of living measures. We've introduced, in addition to all of these, cheaper medicines.

But a big shout out to my young brother, I'm delivering to you along with this labor government a tax cut for your birthday today....
