Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (15:09): Thank you, Senator Grogan. It is my pleasant duty to advise Australians that Australia has not closed down, and I wish all Australians a happy first anniversary—a paper anniversary—since someone—I don't know who, but someone—said that Australia would close down due to the government's secure jobs, better pay workplace relations laws. Senator Cash interjecting— Senator WATT: You have to wonder who would have such a doom-and-gloom attitude to Australian businesses' workers. Well, of course, it's the person who has a lot to say over there right now, Senator Cash, the human hyperbole. We know we used to have Senator Hinch, the human headline, and now we have Senator Cash, the human hyperbole. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, please resume your seat. Senator Hanson-Young? Senator Hanson-Young: Thank you, President. I know it is unbelievable to be able to think that I can't hear Senator Watt, but I can't hear Senator Watt. Can you please try and bring the temperature down a little? The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, I have been trying for the last hour. I would think that today I have not been particularly successful, but I would remind the chamber once again that shouting out across the chamber is disorderly. Trying to shout louder than the minister answering the question is also disorderly, and it's disrespectful. I'd remind all senators, for the last couple of questions, to listen in silence. Senator Watt: Thank you, President. But it's no surprise that Senator Cash would say such a thing, because she's a member of the same coalition that said Labor would end the weekend. I don't know about you, but I'm quite looking forward to the weekend, and it's actually going to happen tomorrow. They said that Labor would kill off the backyard barbecue. I had a barbecue at my place last weekend; I don't know about you. And, of course, Labor was going to deliver lamb roasts that cost $100. That hasn't happened either. Senator Cash is not alone in her blatant scaremongering from that side of the chamber, but it is sad that she has such a dim view of Australian businesses and workers. As I say, 12 months on from that prophecy of doom from Senator Cash, it turns out that Australia is in fact still quite open. The sky hasn't fallen in, and in fact it's quite a nice spring day out there. I'd encourage you to go and experience it. But, when you don't have actual policies, all you've got is hyperbole and overegging. Senator Cash is fond of saying the devil's always in the detail, so here's the detail. Unemployment under a Labor government is at historic lows, over 560,000 jobs having been created since the Albanese government was elected. Wages are moving again, up by an average of 3.6 per cent compared to 2.1 per cent under— (Time expired) Senator Birmingham: President, I seek leave to move a motion to vary the hours of the Senate. The PRESIDENT: We're halfway through question time. The Clerk's saying no. Honourable senators: He's seeking leave. The PRESIDENT: Senator Birmingham, I'm sure you heard that, but I'm advised that you can't do it until Senator Grogan's series of questions has expired. Senator Grogan, first supplementary?
