Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

My honourable friend behind me refers to 'the professor'. I think he is referring to the member for Fenner. The member for Fenner, again and again, has made the point. Let me read out this good quote from the member for Fenner:

Given that the typical minimum wage worker lives in a middle-income household, it appears unlikely that raising the minimum wage will significantly lower family income inequality.

He will have to be expelled! Of course, that was when he was at the ANU. We have made a responsible submission to the Fair Work Commission. It is consistent with the submissions made by many governments in the past, Labor and Liberal. We put our faith in the independent umpire; so should Labor. They had done for 120 years and they should do so again.
