[Music] government [Music] programs the message is clear this isn't about raising taxes on everyday Australians but rather about ensuring that everyone pays their fair share and that our national resources are directed where they're needed most another question you might have is about the long-term sustainability of this program after all we've seen governments come and go each with their own promises and policies well one of the most impressive aspects of these bills is how they've been structured to ensure longevity the legislation includes mechanisms to adjust the payments in line with inflation and cost of living increases this means that the real value of the support won't be eroded over time there are also safeguards in place to protect the program from future budget cuts or changes in government now I want to take a moment to address some of the potential concerns
