Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:58): I thank Senator Darmanin for the question. It is an important question. As outlined in that question, our focus was on budget repair in the last term, providing cost-of-living help in targeted ways that didn't add to the inflation challenge and getting wages moving again. It was all part of our economic plan.

Our productivity problem hasn't been with us for a couple of years; it's been with us for a couple of decades. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: I can hear those opposite interjecting, so I'll take that. It's important that they accept that the coalition oversaw the worst decade of productivity growth in more than 60 years.

The 2022 election coincided with the largest quarterly fall in productivity growth in almost half a century, another feature of the Morrison government at that time. Over the decade to 2020, our average annual labour productivity growth in Australia was the slowest in 60 years, falling to just 1.1 per cent compared to 1.8 per cent over the 60 years to 2019-20.
