Senator LINES (Western Australia) (15:05): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. What sort of government makes it a political priority to attack the living wage of some of the lowest paid workers in Australia by cutting $2 an hour from their weekly pay packet? Senator ABETZ: As I have already said, not on one occasion or two occasions but on three occasions earlier this week during question time, that the premise of that question is false. What I can say to Senator Lines is this: the average family today is $550 better off because we abolished Labor's carbon tax. Mr President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
