The Prime Minister and Opposition Leader have addressed their respective party rooms with Parliament returning for the first sitting week of the year. Here's what they each had to say.
"We are already delivering right across the board," the Prime Minister said.
"Our climate change policy is meaning that we're seeing the investment flow through in renewables and that transition occur that will be so important for our long-term future. He also told his parliamentary colleagues of the positive feedback he received from residents while on recent trips to Western Australia and Victoria.
"There are big challenges ahead this year. We have a big agenda but I'm very confident that the ministry as well as the entire caucus of people in this room will be able to deliver that better future that we committed to last May." "The government's clearly forgotten about families who are doing it tough and likely today there'll be another interest rate increase under Labor," the Opposition Leader said.
"So that means people always pay more for their mortgages under Labor. It means that they'll pay more for their gas bills, that they'll pay more for their electricity bills."
