Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:24): Senator Ryan is asking us about working families and low-income Australians. Let us remember: we are the government that got rid of Work Choices; we are the government that put in place the first paid parental leave provisions in Australia's history; we are the government that has delivered an increase in the pension; we are the government that has increased the childcare rebate, increased funding to schools and increased funding to hospitals—none of which was done under the coalition. In fact, under Tony Abbott there was $1 billion taken out of public hospital funding. Senator Ryan: Mr President, I raise a point of order. If the minister cares to range back to the topic, I could point out that she is also in the government that has seen electricity prices rise by nearly one-third— The PRESIDENT: That is a debating point, not a point of order. Senator WONG: If the senator cares about jobs for working people, why does he want mining companies to pay less tax and manufacturers and small business to pay more tax? Explain that. Go and explain to workers employed in manufacturing that your policy is that you want miners to pay less tax and manufacturers to pay more. Go to the small businesses in your electorate and explain to them that you want them to pay more tax but you want BHP to pay less. (Time expired)
