Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (16:25): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: The proportion of Australians receiving working-age income support payments has fallen to its lowest level in 30 years, at 14.3 per cent. The social security system provides income support to disability support pension and Newstart recipients, and the Newstart allowance rate is increased twice a year. In addition, they receive various health concessions and access to public health services. Australia has a targeted and comprehensive welfare system which is sustainable as a result of the government's prudent fiscal management and our strong economy. The PRESIDENT: The question is that motion No. 108 standing in the names of Senators Siewert and Dodson be agreed to.
