The single sharpest fact in one or two punchy sentences. Who did what, where, when, and why it matters. Not a summary of everything — the one thing that makes someone stop scrolling. A reader who only reads this paragraph must understand what happened.

NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey has handed out a $561.4 million cost-of-living relief package in the Labor government's final budget before next year's state election. The budget includes rebates for car registration, new caps on Opal fares and road tolls.

The state government wants to help everyday people with the rising cost of living, says Mookhey. The budget has several measures to help those in need.

A rebate for car registration will save drivers up to $50 per year. 'We're putting a dent in the cost of living by saving people up to $50 per year on their car registration,' Mookhey says.

New caps on Opal fares will save commuters around 12% on their weekly fares. 'No one should have to pay more than they can afford to get to and from work,' Mookhey says.

The government has also implemented caps on road tolls.

A total of $561.4 million will be spent to assist with the cost of living.

The measures are all part of the $561.4 million rebate package, says Mookhey.
