My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. I refer to the Prime Minister’s comment this week that working families in Australia have never been better off. Minister, does ABS employee earnings and hours data not tell us that Australian women on AWAs who work full time earn on average $2.30 less per hour, or $87.40 less per week, based on a standard 38-hour week than those on collective agreements? Minister, how does this make working families better off?
