Yesterday I shared with this place that the greatest show on earth is in the heart of Swan, and that is indeed the Canning Show. CAHRS does a terrific job of running this amazing agricultural show. Dianne Begg, who is the incredible CEO, did her last curtain call, and it will be sad to see an infectious, fun, smart, hardworking woman leave. To David Russell, the new CEO: good luck; you have big heels to fill. Joking!

But what I would say is not a joke is same job, same pay. What was interesting was that at the show there was an air hostess boss lady who clocked me and was like, 'Hey, you're Labor. I love the work that you're doing. I'm an air hostess manager, and other people get paid to do the same job as me for $50,000 more. My team members get paid $30,000 more under different contracts.' The Labor government wants to get rid of this two-tiered system. If you're doing the same job, you should get the same pay.

Do you know what the Dutton Liberals think? They don't value your work and they don't want you to get the same pay. We cannot afford to have a Dutton Liberal government. We are working hard; you deserve the same pay for the same work.
