Mr MORRISON (Cook—Treasurer) (15:01): I thank the Prime Minister for the opportunity to respond. I will give you a quote: The Panel should also consider the fact that all low paid workers do not necessarily live in low income households. That quote is from the Australian government's submission of the Annual Wage Review 2012-13. The employment minister at the time was the Leader of the Opposition. Government members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Members on my right! Mr MORRISON: Mr Speaker, the hypocrisy is dumbfounding. We have heard the member for Fenner, the 40-year-old intern down there. They really should pay him a proper wage rather than forcing him to work on those sorts of wages, denying him his salary on their own front bench! Mr Zimmerman interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for North Sydney! Mr MORRISON: The member for Fenner has also made, like on so many other things, a contribution on this topic. He has said: … it is conceivable that an increase in the minimum wage might actually reduce the total market income received by low-wage workers. He also went on to say, 'Raising the minimum wage may cost jobs.' If those opposite in the Labor Party want to raise those questions, they should just ask them into the mirror. Maybe they could explain their own comments. The SPEAKER: The Manager of Opposition Business. Mr Burke: In his answer, the Treasurer referred to the 2013 submission from the government. I seek leave to table the clause that says the Australian government in 2013 'supports a fair and economically responsible increase in the National Minimum Wage'. Leave not granted.
