I am responding directly to what other speakers in this debate have been saying.

In his speech, the member for Grey condemned the Prime Minister for the Fair Work Act—the Fair Work Act that restored wages and conditions to many people who lost them under the coalition government. I have to say he has belled the cat on this one. He said, 'Blame the Prime Minister for the Fair Work Act.' I do not. I commend the Prime Minister for the Fair Work Act. She has restored wages and conditions in this country for many who had them ripped away by the previous government.
