Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (15:00): Sorry. I was so enraptured by that question, President! Under the Albanese Labor government, Australians are earning more and keeping more, helping them to deal with cost-of-living pressures. Wages increased by 3.4 per cent to December 2025, up from 3.3 per cent in September. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. Once again, order on my left, particularly those on the front bench. Minister Watt, please continue. Senator WATT: As I said, wages increased by 3.4 per cent to December 2025, up from 3.3 per cent in September. They doesn't just happen by accident; it's the result of deliberate Labor policies that have actively increased wages. Of course, all of this has been opposed by the coalition because they don't want to see everyday Australians getting ahead. If you thought it would be any better under the new Liberal leadership team, you would be very, very wrong. As the former leader Ms Ley—remember her? None of you seem to. She said last week that the new Liberal leadership team immediately re-adopted her policies. It kind of makes you wonder what the point was, really. We've got a new Liberal leader whose solution to the cost of living was long lunches for bosses and a deputy—who hasn't been given a question yet, I notice—who wanted to ban working from home. Happy anniversary, Jane! The rap sheet is long when it comes to these characters. Let's look at the new shadow Treasurer, Mr Wilson, who has criticised the Fair Work Commission's decision to increase the minimum wage and opposed legislation enshrining penalty rates and law. And the Liberals' secret election review—ooh!—hidden by the Leader of the Opposition but now leaked to the media, admits that those who now have control of the party were the architects of their electoral defeat. The review blames policies like opposition to income tax cuts. You should make that bloke leader! Oh, that's right: you have! And there was the denial of flexible working arrangements—happy anniversary! Oh! Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, please resume your seat. I'm waiting for silence. Senator Henderson? Senator Henderson: A point of order: could you ask the minister to direct his answer through the chair? Thank you. The PRESIDENT: Senator Henderson, I am more than happy to do that. I would also request that the front bench— Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, just as I'm speaking to try and get order, you interject. Perhaps there's a deal here. Senator Watt can direct his answers to the chair and the front bench on my left can be quiet. Minister Watt. Senator WATT: Through you, President, we are very happy to see Senator Henderson back on the front bench. The challenge for the coalition now is: will they heed their own review or continue to cut Australian— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Sheldon, first supplementary?
