In addition to Queensland's cost-of-living relief, from 1st July the Albanese Government has:

• Taking $300 more off every Queenslanders' power bill, bringing the total rebates to $1,300 ($1,672 for seniors/concession card holders)
• Pay rises for low wage workers
• Freezing PBS medicine costs
• Introducing two additional weeks paid parental leave
• Reducing student HECS debt (the average student will have their debt cut by $1,200)

Together, Queenslanders will receive the biggest package of household support in Australia's history, while putting pressure on the banks to lower interest rates to reduce rents and mortgages.
