Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:19): I will say it again: incomes are higher than they would have been if there hadn't been a change of government back in 2013. That is because employment growth was lower under Labor, the economy was weakening under Labor and the budget position was rapidly deteriorating under Labor. Of course, we have put our country in a stronger position and on a more resilient trajectory for the future. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: He may be getting to household income per capita. I will sit down. Thank you. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann. Senator CORMANN: It's in very small font, because it's very important, detailed information. The latest ABS data shows that income equality, as measured by the Gini coefficient, decreased from 0.333 in 2013-14 to 0.328 in 2017-18. These findings are consistent with the latest data from the 2019 HILDA, which shows that, while the Gini coefficient— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: Having a Liberal finance minister talk about the Gini coefficient is very interesting, but the question was about household incomes per capita not having grown in six years—since this minister became finance minister. The PRESIDENT: I remind ministers that, while I cannot instruct them on how to answer questions, when very specific questions are asked, one must tightly remain directly relevant to them. On this basis, I think the minister is being directly relevant, dealing with the economic statistics and record of the government. Senator CORMANN: There are 1.4 million more Australians in jobs, wages continue to grow above inflation, there's $15.1 billion worth of tax cuts and there's increasing effective wages growth as a result of our government. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Gallagher, a final supplementary question.
