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) (14:11): I thank Senator Ciccone for the supplementary. This week in the Senate, Senator Hume confirmed that a Dutton coalition government would cut billions of dollars in services that Australians rely on. Senator Hume: No, I didn't! Senator GALLAGHER: Yes, you did. You say it every time you complain about the additional spending in our budgets. Senator Hume interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: That is what you're saying. It's doublespeak. Senator Hume interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator GALLAGHER: You're trying to have it both ways. We're not going to let you have it. Every time you complain about the extra spending, you've got to explain what that means— Senator Hume interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Hume! Senator GALLAGHER: about pensions, what that means about JobSeeker, what that means about rent assistance, what that means about energy bill relief. Asked a number of times this morning— The PRESIDENT: Minister Gallagher, please resume your seat. Senator Hume? Senator Hume: Point of order, Madam President. I feel I'm being misrepresented. The PRESIDENT: Senator Hume, resume your seat. Senator Hume interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I will remind you, Senator Hume, when the minister is answering, I expect silence. I called order— Senator Hume interjecting— The PRESIDENT: You are not in an argument with me! I called order and you continued to ignore me. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: Thank you. As our economic plan is working, we are driving down inflation, we are providing cost-of-living relief where we can, we are getting wages moving again. Women of Australia should listen to what those opposite say because they're not interested in what you earn. We have put in place measures that have ensured women get the pay they deserve and it's driving down the gender pay gap. (Time expired)
