PRIME Minister Julia Gillard "understands" how bleak life can be for families and says it's unfortunate Labor's attempts to help people deal with cost-of-living pressures will be contested at the federal election.
Ms Gillard told the Nine Network on Monday that Labor has been working to alleviate cost-of-living pressures in western Sydney and elsewhere in Australia.
"I understand it can be really tough," Ms Gillard said.
"Which is why we have got the school kids' bonus to help with the costs of getting kids to school.
"You know, shoes on the feet, the uniforms that you need to buy, the books, the pens, the paper.
Unfortunately, the bonus and other measures would be contested at the next election, she said.
"We are saying they should definitely stay because they help people manage cost-of-living pressures."
In a lighthearted interview on Ten Network's The Project, Ms Gillard was asked whether Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's appearance in western Sydney on Monday amounted to stalking and what she was going to do about it.
"I don't think that there's anything that I could take up in a legal way, or anything like that," Ms Gillard joked.
"(I'm) not worrying about it. He can kind of, you know, knock himself out and do whatever he wants to do, and I'll get on with my job."
Broadcaster Steve Price alluded to her 2010 election stop at Rooty Hill, and "a whole range of promises that you've not been able to keep".
"Why should anyone believe any of the promises you're making this time around?" he asked.
"You're always such a bundle of joy, aren't you?" Ms Gillard quipped.
"It's just such a positive outlook on the world.
"I don't know what happened in your household this morning, but I got out of bed feeling very energetic and ready to get out in western Sydney."
