Angus Taylor: Well, Paul, can I start by saying, if it is true that the government is using departmental resources to attack the Opposition, rather than to attack inflation, they should be up-front about that. I think that's very disappointing for everybody, that they would use departmental resources in that way, if they have.

And I think that's a very real question to ask. Now, we know that this is a policy that has the potential to get more people into work, despite what some in the Opposition have tried to claim. I mean, it's very simple, at the end of the day. If you give people a stronger incentive to work, what do you think they're likely to want to do? They're gonna want to work more.

Now, we expect we will work through our costings now that we've got the full parameters of the Budget, we didn't have that until last week. We'll work through that over the coming weeks. But we can fully expect that the costs of our policy will be substantially lower than Labor's.
