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) (14:34): I don't have the exact figures at my fingertips, but it is a significant contributor, through company tax and through other taxation arrangements; I don't think anyone is pretending otherwise. In terms of the revenue upgrades that we've seen, and the very welcome revenue upgrades that we've seen to the budget, of which 87 per cent across the last two budgets has been returned for budget repair—of that, about 20 per cent is related to the strong prices that we're getting for commodities. I would say that the other parts, where there is significant contribution to the upward revision in revenue, are because of the strong labour market, the low unemployment rate and the fact that more people are in jobs, which is fantastic, and because we're seeing for the first time in a decade the beginnings of some solid wages growth. We've overturned a policy that the former government had of wage stagnation—determined and deliberate wage stagnation—and we are seeing for the first time good, sustainable wages growth, which is good for working people in this country. We expect— Senator Hume: Are you seeing real wages growth? Senator GALLAGHER: Yes, we will see real wages growth, as foreshadowed in the budget paper, and that is contributing to the revenue upgrades. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, on my left! You have one of your senators on their feet. Senator McDonald. Senator McDonald: On relevance: perhaps the minister could take my question on notice if she doesn't have the answer. Senator Scarr: You said you didn't have it. Senator GALLAGHER: I said that I didn't have a number for you, but I'm more than happy to find the exact number of how we break down the receipts from company tax, which is essentially what you're asking me to do—to break it down into a subset of a particular industry. I'm happy to do that and come back to the chamber. The point I am making, though, is that, whilst that is a contributor to the revenue improvements that we're seeing in the budget—and we welcome that—there are other factors at play here. One is the fact that we are strongly handling the economy and that we've got low unemployment and strong wages growth, which is also relevant to the budget bottom line. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Are you on your feet, Senator McDonald, for a first supplementary?
