00:42It goes far beyond that today.
00:44We need to make sure that we provide relief and support right across the spectrum of government
00:49services.

00:55in the suburbs of Perth doing it tough.
00:58Covering the cost of summer holiday VAC Swim lessons will save a family with two children

01:10in 2017.
01:11Roger Cook was at the cabinet table when they agreed to hike VAC Swim fees up 122% when
01:21they first came into office.
