Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:06): I thank Senator Payman for her question, and I say this: after a decade of wage suppression, of spiralling childcare and healthcare costs, of ideological wars which are still occurring and of an out-of-touch former government that thrived on secrecy and cover-ups, Australia did need action, and this government is delivering. We're working to get wages moving and putting downward pressure on costs, and from our first day in office our support ensured an increase to the minimum wage and a pay rise for aged-care workers. Albanese Labor are investing in cheaper child care, cheaper medicines, paid parental leave and secure jobs with better pay. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: I take the interjections, because when you talk about secure jobs with better pay, there's nothing that gets the Liberals moving more than that, is there? A government senator: They hate it. Senator WONG: They hate it. We're acting to make workplaces safer from sexual harassment, with the passage of the respect at work bill, based on recommendations which were left unfinished, and we're ensuring Australia has the skills of tomorrow, creating 180,000 new fee-free TAFE places. We've expanded the Commonwealth seniors health card. We've ended the cashless debit card. We've established a royal commission into robodebt. We have delivered the Regional First Home Buyer Guarantee. We passed an historic climate change bill and updated our climate targets. Senator Ruston in terjecting— Senator WONG: You should listen; you might learn something, Senator Ruston. We've invested in renewable energy and Rewiring the Nation. We are establishing the Disaster Ready Fund, a vital tool as we battle floods across Australia. We have ended the cover-up culture. The majority of those opposite refused to censure their former leader. All of them lined up to defend him. Of course, the National Anti-Corruption Commission that they spent years trying to avoid has now been passed under an Albanese Labor government. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Before I call Senator Payman for her first supplementary, I am going to remind senators, particularly on my left, that you are being incredibly disorderly. You are shouting so loud that I cannot get the attention of Senator Wong. It is unacceptable, it is disrespectful and it's disorderly.
