Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (14:57): Thank you, Senator Pratt. I know you have had a very long history of supporting the manufacturing industry and manufacturing workers in this country. Unlike those opposite, Senator Pratt—and everyone on this side of the chamber—believes in Australian manufacturing. We don't go around shutting down car industries and shutting down the manufacturing industry. We actually support manufacturing. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WATT: And they don't like being reminded of them closing down the car industry. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Order! Minister Gallagher? Senator Gallagher: On a point of order: I was just going to say, the interjections from those opposite are making it difficult to hear Senator Watt. The PRESIDENT: They are indeed, and I would again remind senators that they are to listen in respectful silence. Minister Watt. Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, I've just called the chamber to order. I've asked for respectful silence. I don't want the interjections to continue. Minister Watt. Senator WATT: Jeez, aren't they touchy about their history of closing down the car industry! We always know the things you don't want to talk about, because they wake you from your slumber and you start deciding to become a viable human entity again! Well, unlike all of you opposite, Senator Pratt believes in a future made in Australia, and so does everyone on this side of the chamber. And, unlike those opposite, who drove car manufacturing into the ground— Senator Henderson interjecting— Senator Rennick interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Please resume your seat. Senator Henderson and Senator Rennick, you are out of order, seriously, both of you. Yelling and pointing across the chamber, Senator Henderson, is disrespectful. And yelling out at the top of your voice, Senator Rennick, is also disrespectful. I ask people to listen. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I ask people to listen in respectful silence. Minister Watt, please continue. Senator WATT: As I was saying, unlike those opposite, who drove car manufacturing into the ground, we are taking action to help Australian business to grow, and we're making sure that manufacturing workers prosper at the same time. That's why we're taking such action on cost-of-living pressures and we're improving job security, and that is why we are giving Australian manufacturing workers a tax cut. What does it mean in practice? Well, Senator Pratt, you'd be aware—I'm sure you've had a Bundaberg ginger beer over the years. Let's look at that. It's a business that I know Senator Chisholm, as well, is very familiar with, in my state of Queensland. An entry level worker on the Bundaberg production line or in the brewhouse or in the warehouse—the people who make the magic happen—makes around $50,000 a year. With Labor's tax cuts, a worker at that plant will be $955 a year better off. Those opposite have been happy to accuse the government of stifling ambition, not believing in aspiration and discouraging workers from improving their lot in life. If that worker at Bundaberg gains the experience to get an even higher paid job at $65,000 a year, they will be over $1,300 a year better off as a result of Labor's tax cuts. The PRESIDENT: Senator Pratt, a first supplementary?
