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) (15:04): I don't accept that question at all. I don't accept it, and I think if people see the budget in its entirety— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Gallagher, please resume your seat. Senator GALLAGHER: Why won't you let Goldilocks answer! The PRESIDENT: I have just asked the Senate to listen in respectful silence. Senator Cash was able to ask her question in respectful silence. I'm now asking all of you in here to listen to the answer, whether you agree with it or not, in respectful silence. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: Senator Cash's question included a reference to the young man's wages and how he had been feeling the pinch on wages. We agree. That's why we put the industrial relations changes through this parliament, with the more jobs, better pay bill. You opposed it. You opposed improvements to the industrial relations system that would allow workers to have a better crack at wage opportunities through the bargaining system. You've opposed our position on arguing for wages growth on the minimum wage, through our minimum wage cases. You didn't make the commitment to fund the aged-care workers wage claim—15 per cent in this budget found room for it on top of all the other things we had to do. We're absolutely determined to get wages moving, and this budget shows that we will have real wages growth, faster than had previously been expected. (Time expired) Senator Wong: I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
