I'm delighted to get a question from the opposition about wages because there are two different positions. Those on that side of the chamber had low wages as a key feature of their economic architecture. They consciously wanted low wages. We on this side have said very clearly that we want to lift wages. We understand that wages are a part of people's living standards. That's why I'll be very interested in what their response is to our aged-care position and the $11.3 billion that is in the budget to lift the wages of aged-care workers—250,000 of them.

You can't be serious.
