Thank you, Mr Speaker. This week the Prime Minister told a 60-year-old aged-care worker in Burnie to get a better job. Is he aware that 65-year-old aged-care worker Elaine Smith from Devonport has told the Burnie Advocate that the Prime Minister is 'putting people down because they are doing a low paid job'. Is this why the Prime Minister and Senator Hanson teamed up to give aged-care workers a tax cut of just $10 a week and to give themselves a tax cut of $7,000 every year?
