Thanks to the member for Corangamite for all of her hard work and for her great question as well. This Albanese Labor government's focus this week and every week is helping to ensure that people earn more and keep more of what they earn. This is the primary motivation behind the tax cuts which will come in for every taxpayer from 1 July, and it's the primary motivation behind the submission that Minister Burke and I will make to the Fair Work Commission on Thursday.

We are the party of working people. We support Australians on the minimum wage. We know that wages growth is best when it's bottom-up and not just top-down. We back people who work hard and provide for their loved ones and who just want to get ahead.
