My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to the statement of Reno Lia, an electrical worker, who told Labor’s IR task force:

I’d say I’ve worked three of every four Saturdays over the last 20 years. Now I’d be telling lies if I said I didn’t do it for the money ...

Overtime is a very, very big issue. A very big component of making ends meet ...

As much as I make jest about the fact that the wife goes to Knox City and spends all our money, I’m quite proud of the fact that we have got a little bit of money for her to go and do that. I’m wrapped that the kids do have sporting activities.
