Reid welcomes 'cost-of-living measures'
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid has welcomed "cost-of-living measures" introduced by the Federal Government on Monday, July 1.
These included tax cuts, energy bill relief, a freeze on the cost of medicines and "more funding to build more homes in every part of the country".
This was in addition to a pay rise for 2.6 million workers, backed by this Government.
Dr Reid said: "It builds on cost of living measures the Government has already delivered, such as cheaper child care, fee-free TAFE and the biggest investment ever in expanding bulk-billing.
"We know that people on the Central Coast are under pressure right now.
"That's why the Federal Labor Government is delivering this cost-of-living help now, while delivering on our responsible economic plan to fight inflation and invest in future growth."
