Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:07): On wages, the policy that you oversaw, which is keeping wages down as a deliberate design feature of your economic architecture, is gone. And if you look in the budget you will see that wages are increasing. The PRESIDENT: Senator Henderson? Senator Henderson: Just to remind the minister to address her comments through the chair— The PRESIDENT: But what is it that you're seeking? I can only assume you were seeking a point of order. You need to stand and say, 'Point of order'. The minister is being relevant, and I'll continue to listen closely. Senator GALLAGHER: We are a government that wants to see wages move. I don't know whether those opposite have noticed, but we are dealing with a tiny bit of an inflation challenge at the moment! There is an issue here, which the government is responsibly responding to, and that is impacting on wages. Now, we have supported the minimum wage case. We are backing in a pay rise for aged-care workers. We have in this budget indexed community organisations so that they, too, can get a pay rise—something that you guys, when you were in government, never did. We are determined to get wages moving and to ensure that nobody is left behind. But these are challenging economic circumstances, and we will continue to work in the interests of the Australian people. (Time expired)
