Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:02): I thank Senator Hughes for her supplementary question. Well, what did we do when we first came to government? We supported a rise in the minimum wage for ordinary Australian workers. What was your policy at the time? Your policy, as— The PRESIDENT: Minister Farrell, please resume your seat. Senator Hughes?
