Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and the Public Service, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:20): Let me tell you what our government is achieving for the Australian people. Let me tell you what we are achieving for the Australian people. Under Labor, fewer and fewer people were able to find a job, and more and more people were ending up unemployed. We are actually delivering more jobs and a lower unemployment rate, and guess what: wages growth is actually picking up. Wages growth is picking up. We inherited a weakening economy, rising unemployment and a rapidly deteriorating budget position from the terrible team over there, the economic and fiscal vandals over there, who reduced the opportunity for Australians to get ahead, and guess what: if Bill Shorten ever were selected to Prime Minister, this antibusiness— The PRESIDENT: On a point of order, Senator Watt. Senator Cormann, please resume your— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann! If there aren't so many interjections— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'll have my microphone turned up and others turned down if you're not careful. Senator Watt, on a point of order. Senator Watt: Just on relevance, I'm wondering whether any one of those senators is correct in making those remarks that I won't repeat. He still hasn't answered that. The PRESIDENT: The minister is being directly relevant to the question. Senator CORMANN: Thank you very much. My advice to Senator Watt is: just because Mr Shorten is getting cocky, don't take on the cockiness of the Shorten Labor Party. (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Senator Wong! Senator Macdonald! Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I will call the next question when there's silence. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: All senators should remain silent.
