Mr GORMAN (Perth—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister, Assistant Minister for the Public Service and Assistant Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations) (15:24): Let us be clear. Under this government, 121 individuals have been removed from that union. Under those opposite, over nine years, how many were removed? That's right. Zero. Not a single official was removed from that union while they were in office, but 121 were removed during Labor's time cleaning up the mess that was left behind by those opposite. Your policy solutions did not solve any of these challenges— Mr Wallace interjecting— Mr Tim Wilson interjecting— The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms Claydon ): Member for Goldstein, I'm not taking your point of order just yet. I'm going to deal with the member for Fisher. That was a very aggressive interjection right by my ear. It couldn't be missed. Don't repeat it. You were warned by the Speaker during question time. You will be leaving if it happens again. Have you got a point of order, Member for Goldstein? Mr Tim Wilson: I do. The member reflected on the chair rather than members opposite. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Take a seat, please. I will deal with any points of orders. I couldn't hear it, because of your colleague yelling in my ear. But I will ask all speakers to direct their comments through the chair. Mr GORMAN: I withdraw that last comment, Chair, and thank you very much. Let us be very clear. This government has no tolerance for corruption. We have no tolerance for criminal activity in the construction sector. That is why this government took the strongest action of any government of any persuasion when it came to cleaning up the CFMEU. We appointed an administrator. We support the administrator to do their work. We've had 121 individuals removed and we've made more progress in 18 months than those opposite made in nine years of government. I want to make very clear, as was made clear to the shadow minister in question time, that the minister received the final report and did not request a single change. We can have 10 minutes from those opposite telling us a whole range of things, but it was clear from the contribution from the shadow minister that, despite asking questions in question time—and I congratulate the shadow minister for doing very well in their tactics of getting a large number of questions; I could see the jealousy of those behind you from that very odd place that I sit at, over there, during question time—they were not listening to the response. But what I think we also saw just then was 10 minutes of a brand-new television channel that has launched today. Today, I watched with interest the interview with the shadow minister on Laura Jayes—he said two very interesting things. Firstly, he said, 'It doesn't matter who sits in the swivel chair.' Well, I think that is very interesting. He looks pretty comfortable there right now. I did note that the member for Farrer stayed for the shadow minister's remarks; I noticed that the member for Hume managed to get out of here pretty quickly. But I'm sure it was a great comfort for the Leader of the Opposition when the member for Goldstein said it didn't matter who sat in the swivel chair. But that wasn't the bit of the interview that excited me. The bit that excited me was the launch of a brand-new—I assume it's free to air—station. It might be pay per view. I don't know; you'd have to ask. The member opposite said, 'It has, on "channel Tim"'—and Laura Jayes said: 'Channel Tim. I like it.' Well I've just seen 10 minutes of 'channel Tim' and I don't know if I really liked what I saw. I think we'll leave it to the public to review. We know the sorts of things that will get on 'channel Tim'. You can be guaranteed that 'channel Tim' will have a lot of self-promotion. We have seen that on Politics Now, very openly. On Boxing Day, which is a day for giving gifts, there was a gift from the member for Goldstein. When asked about his possible desire to seek higher office and to possibly get into the leadership role, he said: I think there's a scenario where that can happen, but I think events will have to turn in my favour. That's what he told the podcast. But he's been out there—every couple of months there's a new thing. If you go back a month earlier and look at the great industrial relations policy—the only industrial relations policy that's actually been released by those opposite was their commitment to not have parliament sit on Melbourne Cup Day. The member for Goldstein guaranteed: I make this commitment: this will never happen under a Wilson government. A singular policy—wanting to make sure that he and his colleagues get a day off on Melbourne Cup Day. But, while he wants to give himself— Mr Wallace: I have a point of order in relation to relevance. This has absolutely nothing to do with the matter of— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: You can just take a seat, please. Mr GORMAN: Maybe I've been unfair on the member for Goldstein by saying that he only has one policy, which is to give himself a day off for the Melbourne Cup. He has another policy. Just a few weeks after the election last year he dived in with Ronald Mizen at the AFR with this headline: 'Liberals' IR man Tim Wilson wants school kids taking up 'side hustles''. So we've got 'bring back child labour' and 'give the politicians a day off for the Melbourne Cup'. That is what we've got from someone who's been described by a mutual friend of ours, former member for Mackellar, Jason Falinski, as possibly the next Liberal leader. It's amazing to see, if you go back all the way to May last year, the foresight that Mr Falinski had about what was going to happen in the Liberal Party. He wrote this: Gather round—all who dare—as the Liberal Party indulges in its triennial version of The Hunger Games. Well, indeed, they've gone longer than the book series did. But Mr Falinski also said one thing which I think both sides of the chamber would agree on, and it was this quote—to be clear, before someone gets up with an interjection, I'm just quoting. The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Ms Claydon ): I give a reminder that quotations are no explanation for— Mr GORMAN: It refers to a member by name, but I'll adjust it to be compliant with the standing orders. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Thank you. Mr GORMAN: 'The member for Goldstein is not the Messiah.' That was the quote, and I think that's the one thing we can all agree on. But if the member for Goldstein is to achieve his goal of coming to a higher office, as he himself expresses, then he will have to do so as part of this new coalition of chaos that has been formed between the Liberal Party, the National Party and One Nation. We know they voted together when it came to opposing cutting student debt. We know that he voted happily with One Nation when it came to opposing the three-day guarantee for child care. We know that they voted together with One Nation to oppose closing loopholes and, indeed, to oppose free TAFE. The other thing that no-one opposite wants to talk about is that this government has a record of delivering for working people. This government has delivered when it comes to wages. I remember when they opposed a single-dollar increase in the minimum wage. They refused and went into an election saying, 'Don't give people a $1 increase.' Under this government, we've seen those on the minimum wage get a wage increase per hour of $4.62, and those opposite are now interjecting again, opposing even a $1 increase, let alone $4.62 per hour. Those opposite might not care about those on the minimum wage, but I care and people on this side of the House care that those on the minimum wage are now earning, as a result of the efforts of the Albanese Labor government, an additional $9,120 a year. It is similar when we talk about what's happened when it comes to penalty rates. Again, those opposite contested that we should not do anything to protect penalty rates. We had a different view. We saw the benefits of making sure that we protected the penalty rates of working people, and 2.6 million Australians have benefited because of our efforts to protect penalty rates. Further, those opposite opposed measures for those who work in early childhood education, but we thought it was necessary to support the early childhood workforce. As a result of the wage supports that we have put in place, now fully delivered, some 15,000 additional people have gone into the sector, removing the shortages that had been hurting parents, hurting families and denying children the education and care they deserved. I will finish with some facts that I know those opposite don't like. Under this government, a record number of Australians are in work. Under this government, Australia's unemployment rate is just 4.1 per cent. We have incredibly high participation, at 66.7 per cent. In December alone another 66,000 Australians were in work. Did we see any celebration of that from the shadow minister? No, he must have been too busy on 'Tim TV'. We will always look for ways to support working Australians so that they can earn more and keep more of what they earn. I think Australians have already seen enough of the clown show opposite. They have definitely seen enough of 'channel Tim'.
