Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:26): There have been many representations to the government and, if I might say, none as strong as those from 'Brigadier' Reynolds herself and her brigadier colleague Andrew Nikolic, the member for Bass, in the other place, along with a whole host of other members such as the member for Solomon, Natasha Griggs; the member for Herbert, Ewen Jones; the member for Eden-Monaro, Peter Hendy; and the member for Hughes, Craig Kelly. I notice Tasmanian colleague Senator Lambie walk into the chamber. She of course has also genuinely pursued this issue in the public space, as has the member for Gilmore, Ann Sudmalis. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator ABETZ: With all this interjection and commentary from the ALP, those ALP senators in this place might like to know that their own leader has just congratulated the Prime Minister on the increase.
