I thank the member for his question. Nominal wages improved over the course of the budget in the forward estimates. We will have some aberrant figures on inflation this current year and next year, but wages will continue to improve in this country so long as the economic settings continue to be right, we continue to back Australians, we secure Australia's recovery through this budget and we continue to put Australians in work. When you put Australians into work, that tightens the labour market and supports wages. I will ask the Treasurer to add to the answer.
