My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the fact that a hotel cleaner employed on the relevant ACT award receives the current minimum wage of $25,188 per year. Prime Minister, is it not the case that, had the government’s submissions to the Australian Industrial Relations Commission over the last 10 years been agreed to, that minimum wage would be $22,588—$2,600 less?
