Senator CASH (Western Australia—Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (14:15): In May last year, Mr Albanese was asked if he supported a pay rise of 5.1 per cent, the rate of inflation at the time. He replied, 'Absolutely,' further adding, 'We think no-one should go backwards.' Inflation is now at 7.4 per cent. Is it still the government's policy that wages shouldn't go backwards?
