You have to look at everything in its absolute entirety.
I think, to be honest though, that Peter clearly doesn't understand the struggles that people are facing here.
The government continues to fail to grasp the reality of the situation for people.
When we have a situation where one in four children are living in poverty, there is a serious issue there.
We should be supporting families rather than making life more difficult for them.
I mean, it might well be that... You're asking on this show specifically in relation to this topic.
No, absolutely.
You're asking specifically to come on about this topic.
I think it's fairly clear that the government are going to act on this, but if they don't, well then all well and good, then that's a positive.
But I would imagine from the way the government has acted over the last number of years, whether it was this government or the previous government, they have continuously failed to stand
with working people that has been clear.
It was never more clear than it was in the last budget where they refused to do anything for working people.
Yes, absolutely.
And then that can be reviewed at budget time when everything is looked at in its entirety.
The issue that we had in the last budget was that they refused to do anything for working people.
And as a result of that, people got to the point where they simply couldn't take it anymore.
If we were in the context of a different budget, things would have potentially have been different.
But that's where the government left people.
In the last budget.
Mary, quick, give us the inside story.
